Same die flaw would mean same dies because there are so many factors which can influence where and what kind of die flaw occurs that you can be certain that coins with same die flaw must be from the same die.</p><p><br /></p><p>Differences to the Vienna piece are I of IMP and toga of man.</p><p>I looks smaller on the Vienna piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Lanz piece has been &quot;Leicht geglättet&quot; means smoothed this is actually making authentication more difficult.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not like the Lanz piece and I had some concerns about this coin but I do not know if it has something to do with the smoothing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
