<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2778461, member: 56859&quot;]Doug&#039;s coin prompted me to search CNG&#039;s archives for other examples of damnatios.&nbsp; Look at this unusual example-- a brockage, but Geta escaped erasure on the incuse brockage side!&nbsp; Looks like bidding was <i>fierce</i> for this coin, although the estimate was rather comically low.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=236794" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=236794" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=236794</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/enlarged/3060252.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Edited to add that this brockage answers a question asked above:&nbsp; was Geta &quot;erased&quot; from the die or from the coin?&nbsp;&nbsp; In case the lack of piled-up metal didn&#039;t answer the question, this coin does.&nbsp; Geta was scraped off the obverse after the coin was struck-- otherwise he would also be missing from the reverse (brockage) side.</p><p><br /></p><p>Doug (or anyone):&nbsp; are there any instances of damnatioed emperors being removed from dies rather than from individual coins, one at a time?&nbsp; It seems unlikely-- the mint would instead destroy the old dies and just make new ones without the damned individual.&nbsp; Filling in a die would also be impractical.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
