<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2952347, member: 19463&quot;]Seeing the owl requires more imagination than I have but I really like the others.&nbsp; I particularly like the Republican with bold die number on the obverse unlike mine with small flan destroying part of it.&nbsp; I also add bonus points for the (Inverted T) which is just the way thee Romans made L=50 at that period.&nbsp; Your post makes me want an upgrade with an L. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]721483[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps a RR specialist can clarity this point.&nbsp; You coin show a die number only on the obverse.&nbsp; Are all coins with LXXXXVI (96 - the way I read your coin) obverse numbers paired with the same reverse or did they just not number reverses?&nbsp;&nbsp; Reverse dies tend to fail more frequently that obverses so many will have different numbers on the two sides and, when the numbers get large, the difference can be quite a bit. My coin below has obverse LXXVII (77) using yet another variation of L=50 and reverse of XCIV (94).&nbsp; It also points out the inconsistent use of subtractive numerals.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]721490[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
