[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 2867073, member: 85693"]I've never especially sought out errors in any of my coin collecting efforts, but this one came by cheap on eBay. A fairly dramatic die clash on a denarius of Marcus Aurelius. Just got it in the mail, so I haven't attributed it yet. Clash is visible on the reverse; back of Marcus's head and some legend incuse. I vaguely thought it was a brockage, but Doug Smith's site was very helpful in clearing this up for me: [url]http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/brock.html[/url] Thanks Doug! Any other guidance, examples, etc. welcome - I'm a noob about this stuff.
