<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4395293, member: 19463&quot;]The IVST/SEVER matter has a problem IMO.&nbsp; We are told that the IVST coins were struck first and SEVER was a correction.&nbsp; However IVST coins come in the first legend and every other obverse variant including the regular COS II.&nbsp; SEVER coins do not come with the first legend but they do come with the &#039;others&#039; (COS I, IICOS etc.) before settling down with the standard COS II.&nbsp; If the mint had been told to stop production of the IVST coins, would there be this much overlap?&nbsp; </p><p>IVST with COS II:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1105375[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I have been told that the dots on the reverse of these coins were meaningless space fillers.&nbsp; I have never been able to accept this and this coin illustrates the reason.&nbsp; There would have been room for the T where the dot was placed but the dot pushed the T over with AVG.&nbsp; I have no idea what was the significance of the dot but it seemed necessary to the die cutter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
