<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 3028607, member: 74282"]No problem at all Mike. I'm honestly glad I could help shed a bit of light on this coin for you and thank you for sharing this photo of this most interesting coin. I am slowly building up a photofile of all the imitations of Roman Republic denarii I can find images of. Many of the die pairs are known to me from only a single example and because these coins are often imperfectly struck, a single coin sometimes only tells half the story. Your coin adds important information because much of the area that is obscured on the Hungarian Museum example is full raised on yours, so by looking at both I can get a much better idea of what the entire design looks like which is absolutely crucial when looking for evidence of things like recut dies and looking for the tiny stylistic hints that might suggest that a common engraver was responsible for multiple dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again thank you very much for sharing this image and this coin. If I find anything else out regarding this type I will certainly let you know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
