<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1661469, member: 42773&quot;]I may have discovered a couple of coins that share the same obverse die. The facial features are very close, and the beading of the hair overlays quite well. It&#039;s difficult to say though - they might be coincidentally close, and that&#039;s extent of it. I&#039;m not sure how far you can go with a die study on this poorly-struck series when most of the examples are severely worn...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://postimage.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://postimage.org/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://s10.postimage.org/giopp5hp5/1aa.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>The reverses of these two do not match up, however.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s also an enigma as to why the engravers went to such length to get the facial features of Athena just right, but settled for beading as far as the hair and helmet plume detail go.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
