<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2392457, member: 75525&quot;]RS - thanks for your comments. I have pondered this a while and tend to agree there probably were 4 dots on the die.</p><p>The area where the dots should be on the reverse is a poorly struck part of the coin and directly across from a similar poorly struck portion of the obverse. The feathered edge could be where some patina broke on cleaning or the edge of metal flow on the coin.</p><p>I looked on line and found the two BMC coins and 7 examples between Wildwinds, acsearch.info, CNG, DEAMONETA, etc. This one was not in Vecchi 3. The first BMC coin, posted below, looks like a reverse die match. I am less sure about the obverse die match. I took another look and more pics. The best one is below.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]491667[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]491675[/ATTACH] </p><p>I only see 3 dots on the reverse of the BMC coin, but the 4th could start below the dotted line on the ship. With a good imagination, you can see a dot on mine below the ship&#039;s dotted line and one even with it. Most of the other coins that show 4 dots have the lowest dot even with the ship&#039;s row of dots.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
