AETHER Posted May 31 · Member Share Posted May 31 i'm confident both coins share the same obverse die, but i don't know how often engravers stuck to the same style template on these coins. Am I correct this is match? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Conduitt Posted May 31 · Supporter Share Posted May 31 With Roman coins the dies can be very similar but they were still engraved freehand, so if everything lines up the same - number of hair curls, position on the face, relative distance between elements - it is surely a die match. I assume the Greeks didn’t literally use a template so the same would be true. You do need a lot of points of reference to be sure, though, since they could get some things incredibly similar across different dies. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
