Hi All, I've just found this
forum recently and I was hoping someone here might have an answer to a puzzling question that I have
had with one of my AR coins??
A brief description:
- Coin
Reverse,
Victory in a
biga holding reins in left and
wreath in right, L.RVTILI in
exergue. (I believe all is well on this
side of the silver coin, however)
-Coin
Obverse,
Head of
Roma (right), wearing a winged helmet with peaked visor, FLAC behind. (Here's where I seem to have a problem gettingm coin to conform... The
Obverse of my coin appears the same as every other L. Rutilius Flaccus I have ever seen, ONLY, the
obverse of my
Denarius has this entire
side of the coin in
REVERSE, as if you were looking at it in a mirror...
Could this have been a
rare error where the design was not drawn in
reverse on the striking die? If so, does anyone else know how many of these EXTREMELY
RARE coins were struck before the die was fixed?
I have attached a photo of both sides of the coin that I scanned and enlarged on my printer... you should definately see the "error" with the
Obverse of this coin...
Please let me know if you can see the photo as I cannot see it in my preview of this post?
ANY
help or insight would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in Advance,
