<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2545625, member: 76086&quot;]Not too much movement on this topic, so I will chime in.&nbsp; Obverse and reverse die matches are not unusual with ancient hoards.&nbsp; In fact, they can be extremely common.&nbsp; However, it can come down to statistical analysis.&nbsp; How many are previously known, how many are now on the market?&nbsp; Even if they were previously rare a new hoard might make them common.&nbsp; But plenty on the market at this time mean little other than a hoard has come to light. But on the flip side of the coin (heh, heh), the source can also be an indication.&nbsp; Lanz used but have a good reputation but now significantly less so (for reasons outlined in many other threads).&nbsp; But, again, that means little if they were the ones to buy the whole current hoard.&nbsp; I will be time and study by many people to determine if they are good or not.&nbsp; Having said that I do find those circular depressions odd.&nbsp; They may in fact be some relic of genuine production, but I dont know.&nbsp; But their appearance on all examples are cause for extreme concern.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
