[QUOTE="Clavdivs, post: 8324999, member: 93702"]I have shown this previously - but seems appropriate here.... an "error" on the same coin type: Below is my modest example with an unusual minting error - most probably showing that the legends were cut by a different person than the artist cutting the Temple image: [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/neromerge-jpg.893700/[/IMG] As you can see the " S C " is reversed and the word "CLVSIT" (meaning closed) is at the 12 o'clock position ... as opposed the the 6 o'clock position... as intended and shown on the examples displayed on this thread. Inverting my coin shows the legend in the correct alignment.. and the "SC" makes more sense.. but with an upside down temple.. showing that multiple cutters most probably worked on the same die... the wires got crossed in this example..
