[QUOTE="curtislclay, post: 4719546, member: 89514"]Same coin, I'd say. Note the two small pits in exactly the same position before Macrinus' chin. I have noticed that Varbanov quite often retouched his images to remove faults and make the coin look nicer. Another bad practice of his: when he had an image of only the rev. of a particular coin, to add an obverse taken from some other coin, quite often from a different mint, producing die combinations that never actually existed, because he wished all of his illustrations to show both sides of the coin.[/QUOTE]
