<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 7890121, member: 31620&quot;][USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] I only have a single obverse brockage to share.... It&#039;s not as nice as yours and probably deserves the effort of me tracking it down and updating my photograph.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI%20064ha%20img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>With regards to your AVG II C coin I can imagine that is what the result might look like but in the case of this particular die I think we need to look at other examples from the same die to see if much of what we see (or in fact don&#039;t see) on your coin are from the die itself.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that the flatness in the centre of the Laurel wreath and within the beard below the cheek are factors of die wear as I can see the progression of this over multiple coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I am supposing here is that my first coin is from a relatively early strike in the life of the obverse die and that the die degraded over time quite significantly with the wear becoming increasingly evident on the laurel wreath, cheek and beard and that this accounts for common wear pattern and the increased wear in these areas in my proposed chronology of my coins outlined below. I would place Doug&#039;s coin between my third and fourth coins below. </p><p><br /></p><p>This could be entirely fanciful on my behalf and I would welcome and thoughts on my proposal.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064pz_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064dp_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1361362[/ATTACH] </p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064qt_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_064so_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
