<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2828968, member: 76194&quot;]Calling all experts. I just bought this wonderful Maxentius for it&#039;s sharp and exquisite portrait, and for the temple on the reverse (I didn&#039;t have any architectural coins in my collection.) The strange error/double strike on the reverse was also intriguing to me, and made the coin much more interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think happened to cause this odd double strike or this odd error? Please give it your best guess. I don&#039;t know the answer, but I&#039;m sure someone here must have an idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]666314[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Maxentius(A.D. 306-312)</b>,Follis,5.74g., 22mm, Rome<b> mint</b>, (autumn A.D.307-spring 308), uncertain officina,laureate head of Maxentius right, IMPCMAXENTIVSPFAVG, rev<i>., Roma seated</i> facing, head leftin hexastyle temple, wreath inpediment, holding globe and sceptre, shield at side, CONSERV VRB SVAE, RB[?] in exergue, (RCV 14986; RIC 202a); double strike on reverse?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
