<p>[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 2895151, member: 84744"]I think I see, on the lower cheek of the obverse, "LI" and border dots, presumably from the same obverse die; and then higher up on the cheek the ribbon from his laurel wreath (same strike). In the middle of the reverse, just under the basin of the tripod, I see "XVVI" from the reverse die... looks like someone has traced the X a bit into the metal after the fact? I can't see a third overstrike, but I'm sure it's there!</p><p><br /></p><p>Tipsy mintworker?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
