<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2632665, member: 74282&quot;]I&#039;ll reveal the answer. The damage on this coin is the test punch at 1 o&#039;clock on the shield. Many victoriati exhibit these little test marks on the shield but I have never seen it referenced in an auction or dealer listing or the phenomenon mentioned in literature. I&#039;m not sure if the very early denarii exhibit these or not but I haven&#039;t seen one that did, and given the proportion of victoriati I&#039;ve seen these on it seems like it&#039;s all least much less common on denarii.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
