<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 3248341, member: 83845&quot;]While browsing one of my favorite auctions the other day I came across a coin that seemed familiar... too familiar.&nbsp; Not only was it an obverse and reverse die match for one of my favorite coins it also seemed to have the exact same scratch in the exact same place (under the nose)... uh oh.&nbsp; These might both be fakes struck from dies made from an authentic master coin with a scratch under the nose.&nbsp; My heart sank.</p><p><br /></p><p>Completely bummed that one of my favorite coins might be a sham I decided to take it out and give it a good inspection once I got home from the trip I was on.&nbsp; How could you lie to me like that Athena?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]851706[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>But wait.... is that reeeally a scratch?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]851709[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Hey that&#039;s not a scratch! It was part of the die! This is obviously the very, very rare variety of this type showing Athena as the patron goddess of <u><i><b><font size="5">snot rockets!</font></b></i></u></p><p><br /></p><p>The cult honoring this aspect of Athena is still alive and well today.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]851713[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><u>Please post your</u></p><p>Coins with things coming out of noses.</p><p>Coins you vindicated of any shinanigans upon closer inspection.</p><p>Any relevant coin... Athena, owl, die marks etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
