<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2264665, member: 19463"]What I find interesting here is the fact that my mule fourree also has a Gragulus obverse but with an M. Aburius reverse. I hear a lot about transfer dies but some I have seen so labeled did not strike me as certain matches. Certainly mine is not the same die as TIF's. Were either transferred or are both cut by someone well skilled and using the other as a guide? The modern transfer methods were not available back then but they may have had other ways. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]450212[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>At the show Friday, a dealer had a fourree Republican priced at $150. That is absurd. When I bought mine, they were considered uncollectible by everyone save fools. I paid $25 to a dealer I never patronized (because he was so overpriced) because I already owned solid coins of both types and thought the mule was interesting. TIF's coin is as nice as they get.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
