Lokroi Epizephyrioi, Bruttium. Question about authenticity

(1/3) > >>

Petros:
Is everything OK with this stater? Weight: 8,55g

Petros:
These are nearly identical variants but I wonder about the positioning of the letters. If the coin is authentic, what could be the reason for the different placement of the letters?

Jay GT4:
The dies are cut by hand, so unless the coin comes from the same die then the letters will have different spacing. 

Meepzorp:
Hi PN,

Why are there black spots near the bottom of the horse's rear legs? Could this coin be plated?

Thank you. I'm just worried that I can't find a second identical die on acsearch.
