[QUOTE="lrbguy, post: 3131516, member: 88829"]Doug, thanks for showing the Caelestis items. They are indeed interesting, and your approach is attractive to the puzzle-guy in me. I absolutely agree with this. But here I have to ask, who was trying to establish a new variety? I said up front that I wanted to get a look at the CNG coin to see what it was showing, strike weakness notwithstanding. Why? Because I was curious and had not had a chance to do that myself. The rest was an attempt to tickle curiosity among others. Maybe that was a bad idea. I went into this with the assumption that the coin was NOT showing a full face, but did want to explore the possibility. The comparison to the Domna material was meant to be an analog, not evidence for the coin. Believe me that I know the difference. Doug, all I ask is that you give me some credit for knowing how to construct an hypothesis and research it. I am not easily swayed by rationalization in lieu of evidence, and guard against it in myself constantly. But I do need the freedom to think outside the box when that strikes me.
