<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 2632665, member: 74282"]I'll reveal the answer. The damage on this coin is the test punch at 1 o'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'm not sure if the very early denarii exhibit these or not but I haven't seen one that did, and given the proportion of victoriati I've seen these on it seems like it's all least much less common on denarii.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
