http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/pdfs/Syracuse_Boehringer_and_Tudeer.pdf The question to me is if this is a die break or material added to just this coin. I would be good to see if you can find the die on the link above but I failed to see it just looking for the cud. Perhaps their specimen was struck before the break but you still could ID the die and see if there is any trace of the start of a flaw. The easier way (and not at all easy) would be to scroll down the list only stopping at coins that have some other identifiable characteristic like the P just right of the nose and rule out dies that match this. People who know more than I do will look at the hair style and tell you about where in the sequence it was used. You might get help here http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Syracuse and decide this die was similar to figure 95 which might suggest you look at dies near that date. It strikes me as rather late in the series so I would start looking down in the 600 and higher numbers but this is work for you when time is available. If you can find the Boehringer number for the die, you might search on it for other specimens from that die and see if any of them show a break. I always wanted to collect these coins as a specialty but a series of over 700 coins that may cost $700 each is not in my future. Right now I have two. Boehringer 675 (V338/R463) looks right but has no break. https://www.cngcoins.com/Search.asp...R_TYPE_ID_2=1&SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_4=1 I did not say it would be easy or even possible but that is where I would start --- unless you know a specialist in these coins you can ask.
