<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3316722, member: 19463&quot;]My only thought is to try to determine where the dot would be that was used to lay out the border circle and write off other dots as damage of encrustations.&nbsp; I agree the dies match.&nbsp; This matter bothers me and reminds me I do not know even who to ask.&nbsp; Who is the best expert on matters of technical numismatics?&nbsp; I would like to see this question asked of the British Museum or anyone else that studies the technical matters of production.&nbsp; Even if there were two dies, one a copy of the other, the dot should be in the same place and be in the center of the obverse border on both.&nbsp; This is a mystery to me!&nbsp; I would really appreciate a post by our most expert members and lurkers if they have an idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
