[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 3096272, member: 75937"][USER=75936]@Greg Heinrich[/USER] -- although the state of preservation between these coins is suboptimal, I believe your coin is a reverse die-match to Woodward die C, which is the type on BMCRE 34. Woodward describes its distinguishing features to be: "small patera, long bare forearm; slight bend in sceptre, top of S level with head of peacock." Moreover, there is a very close correspondence on these three coins shown here in the placement of the SC in relation to Juno, with the C placed a little higher up than the SC compared to the horizontal baseline. Yours: [ATTACH=full]782555[/ATTACH] BMCRE 34: [ATTACH=full]782556[/ATTACH] Woodward reverse die C (plate IX, 6): [ATTACH=full]782557[/ATTACH] Woodward notes (p. 74) this reverse die was used with obverse dies 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 14, and 15, so I'd read the descriptions and look at the examples (not all illustrated, though) for those obverse dies to find a potential obverse die match.[/QUOTE]
