<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 3116694, member: 57495&quot;]On the topic of dots, it&#039;s known that for Claudius II, Smyrna and Cyzicus used dots below the bust as officina marks.&nbsp; Coin #2 has two dots and was an unrecorded issue in the original RIC - I won&#039;t expect $1000 for it, but perhaps that fact could garner it a few more votes in the poll? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; In all honesty, I&#039;m actually heartened to see it got as many votes as it did.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>More surprising to me is the number of votes Coin #4 with the crazy double strike has received.&nbsp; As of now it leads the pack as favorite, albeit with Coin #3 a very close second.&nbsp; Coin #4 is personally my favorite as well, with the other three about equal.&nbsp; Go, Kevin! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to everyone for voting and giving your thoughts, I think it&#039;s been an interesting and fun little exercise.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Poll results as of now : </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin #1: Rome mint / Annona reverse.
