[QUOTE="Gavin Richardson, post: 3120936, member: 83956"]I have really enjoyed reading these responses and different philosophies, as well as looking at your posted examples. In the process, I’m also learning more about exactly what I want from this coin. I now quite fancy the reverse with the “Elagab” legend. So I have gone from just looking for a simple space filler to now caring much more about which coin I’m buying. Such is the price of knowledge. Here’s a beautiful example from the stock of Mark Breitsprecher. He calls attention to the fact that on the reverse, there is “clear evidence of the removal of the star in the left field and re-cut into the right field.” Could someone enlighten me on the significance of that moved star? Did they just fill in the die from where the old star was? And why did they move it? [ATTACH=full]794114[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
