[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4507968, member: 110350"]After looking again at the two photos, and communicating with the seller (Ken Dorney), I concluded that in fact my Trajan camel drachm is a double die match with the Roma Numismatic coin sold in 2013 and illustrated in the Woytek & Butcher article. On closer examination, the difference I thought I saw between the two obverse laurel wreaths isn't really a difference at all. As I mentioned above, I've never before found a die match even on one side for any of my coins. let alone a double die match, let alone to a coin illustrated in an article published in [I]The Numismatic Chronicle. [/I]It's rather exciting to have done so here, to be honest. Which leads me to ask all of you, how often have you found double die matches? Is it something you've commonly encountered? If you'd like to, please post about any examples you've found, even though of course my question isn't directly related to the subject of this thread. But it is my thread, so I suppose I'm allowed to go off-topic![/QUOTE]
