Title: Vrbs Roma error
Post by: Heliodromus on April 15, 2021, 01:30:36 PM

Neat error coin here currently on eBay (buy-it-now for 150 EUR - seems excessive).

It seems the engraver probably cut the right star first (working left-to-right on die), then the central chi-rho, then lost track of what he was doing and started on another chi-rho rather than a star ! He seems to have realized his mistake half way though and given up trying to fix it.

that's very neat and maybe pricey, though I am interested if it is still available, but I have not seen it. Please PM me a link, if it has not already sold.
