<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2872214, member: 19463&quot;]I am always amazed when we modern people with our thousands of fonts expect the Romans to have adopted a letter style in 700 BC and lived with it for the duration.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Fashion changes make art interesting.&nbsp; Sometimes we see changes in lettering style between mints.&nbsp; Often we see it between times.&nbsp; Why did Picasso not paint like Rembrandt?&nbsp; Was he not a good enough artist? The &#039;artist&#039; drew this was skilled enough to draw anything but decided not to work in oils.&nbsp; I admire the skill of Jim the Penman (but owning it would be illegal).&nbsp; </p><p><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/Emanuel_Ninger_%24100_%281880%29.jpg/1200px-Emanuel_Ninger_%24100_%281880%29.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Note this RIC number specifies four shops (what is N).&nbsp; I always liked mine where the VI is inserted in a gap in the encircling legend.&nbsp; I might now have doe it that way but the mint did that day.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]686708[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
