<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David@PCC, post: 3516309, member: 80556&quot;]The last year and a half have been good for completing the &#039;persecution&#039; set and I wanted to share my findings. Finding the die match between these spurred me to acquire them so I could see in person how close of a match they really and using software only confirmed my suspicions. Still need to purchase a workshop 5, but images online were adequate to match them to my two.</p><p>Here are three coins that all have matching reverse dies, and two with matching obverse and reverse dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]933661[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>A</b> Workshop 5 sold by Roma Numismatics in February 2019</p><p>[ATTACH=full]933662[/ATTACH]<b>B</b> Anepigraphic Anonymous under Maximinus II</p><p>[ATTACH=full]933663[/ATTACH] <b>C</b> Anonymous under Maximinus II struck summer 312 AD</p><p><br /></p><p>After studying these three types I determined that they all shared the same reverse die. All three share Apollo, while A and C also share the reverse inscription die, and that B and C also share the same obverse die as well. I also concluded the B was struck first as I have found multiple examples of A.</p><p>Here are some overlays I made.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]933664[/ATTACH]This one shows the same obverse dies were used</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]933665[/ATTACH]A over C .............................. A over B ........................ B over C</p><p><br /></p><p>I am unsure why B was made in the first place only to be recut adding the inscription. I think this is a rare occurrence but if anyone has an example of the same die being used on more than one type of coin, please share.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for looking![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
