<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3661354, member: 74968&quot;]Some series are known for being off centre. I am thinking specifically of 2 types of Julius Caesar denarii-the elephant denarii and the portrait coins. For the latter, the speculation has been that the coins were produced in a hurry by the mints of the day and that this led to many off centre strikes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my example of the elephant denarius with quite an off centred strike.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]984428[/ATTACH] </p><p>Now here is an example where one might expect an off entered strike, but instead we see a well centred coin (as compared to others of this type) on both the obverse and the reverse. As a result the lettering and devices that are sometimes off the flan are visible on this coin.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]984431[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
