<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3358978, member: 97383"]dougsmit, Pavlos, & Valentinian Thanks for your input <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I believe there may be a trace of doubling visible on my coin near the edge at the 9:00 o'clock position, but the rest of the obverse when enlarged looks pretty normal. Valentinian, the two studies you put together on the above links are beautifully done with great illustrations. The 3rd coin in my post, illustrated in your 1st link, is the best example I've seen in an Anonymous follis, & I believe my coin is a close 2nd <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Your coin also has the inscription <b>IC XI</b> like mine. This isn't accidental & there must be a logical reason for it.
