Unusual error? solidus
« on: December 17, 2019, 12:26:42 pm »

This solidus was in recently found treasure of over 60 gold coins.

It looks like brockage, but that is not case according person who
has the coin in hand.

Coin has 2 obverses and these are from different dies.

Can you post a mirror image of the brockage alongside the same picture of the obverse in relief?

Exactly!

I see no clear difference between the two impressions, so no reason to think this is anything but a normal brockage.

However, I will be happy to be corrected, if someone can point out why the two impressions must come from different dies.
