<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1674585, member: 26302&quot;]Will do. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am with you. I was nervous the first I saw this, but as I really dug into them, (isn&#039;t it great how owning a coin REALLY makes you study something), I saw great variability in crowns and reverses. The crudeness of this reverse also concerned me, but then I found an identically crude reverse both on TK Mallon&#039;s site and in SNS. So both of my concerns were separately calmed, and then I found the Kunker coin. That is why I posted it now. Still, I am going to follow up, (especially before my time to return expires). </p><p><br /></p><p>But yeah, many many mints made these coins, and there is more variability than first meets the eyes on these. Most crowns look like Nike wings on a hardhat, but there are at least a couple of published examples like this one. If you look close you see the hardhat, and the wings starting very slightly to the left of the hardhat.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse is kind of fun. If you look really closely, the figure on the left is the king, and on the right the queen. Their crowns give them away. It is showing both the king and queen sacrificing to the zoroastrian fire alter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Either way this coin has already taught me a lot. I will let you know if I find out more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
