Just found this and need your opinions please. Looks like extra toes on bottom of statue base and extra hand and knee next to column 7? . Thanks all, John1

It sure does look like it but I'm not sure. The surface of the coin seems to be a bit rough. It also looks like a floating head above and a bit to the left of the statue head. I see another bump in the bottom of bay #7 at the step level and a bit larger bump in bay #5 just above the steps and to the right side of the bay. Who am I to offer an uneducated guess though. LOL! I will watch this thread to see what the pros say. Keep fingers crossed for ya.

Helpful but the wrong date and it didn't show the extra body parts along column 7.
