[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 7922313, member: 75143"]I have both, albeit in poor condition. These seem to be pretty rough and undersized, and not at all easy to find in FDC condition. This one has the interesting CONSTANTINOPOLI reverse, dropping the terminal S. Some believe this is indicative of vocal pronounciation, sort of like how the French drop their terminal S sounds. Evidently the celator was told to engrave CONSTANTINOPOLIS, but was given the order verbally, which dropped the -S. [ATTACH=full]1368737[/ATTACH] This one is in slightly better condition. The mintmark SMAH/SMAN doesn't appear to show up in wildwinds. [ATTACH=full]1368738[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
