<p>[QUOTE="clem.fandango, post: 4796719, member: 114487"]I'm very excited to see your example of <i>al marco</i> adjustment on your <i>denarius </i>of L. Aemilius Lepidus Paullus, Marsyas Mike, because I believe I have a very similarly adjusted example of the same issue too. The positioning and the type of gouge are very close, though I think mine has proceeded from the centre outwards and yours from the outside in? Perhaps someone with more experience of metalwork could confirm that. I have to say - I was very excited to see your coin! Please excuse the eccentric photo, I was trying to show the gouge as well as I can.</p><p><br /></p><p>I must say I find it surprising to see the face of the goddess mutilated in this way: I would have expected more of a taboo against this.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1164805[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
