[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2436949, member: 19463"]When it comes to odd spacings, I like the style below (one shows a break over the I of IMP). There are many COSI---I spaced coins but this die places the second I of the COS date closer to the I of IMP that would seem necessary. I wish I had a full legend, clearly struck one. I am fond of the portrait style which is a bit different. [ATTACH=full]507186[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]507187[/ATTACH] The Victory seated coin below seems to have take this theme and run with it placing the last I of COSII and the I of IMP right next to each other. [ATTACH=full]507188[/ATTACH] I suppose you can dismiss my Mars Pater as unofficial (I'm not sure) but the placement of the I of IMP up under the bust makes me wonder if the legend was cut backwards making it the last letter cut rather than the first???
