Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 08/27/2012 10:01 pm Another LRB error coin, double strike Fallen Horseman. I don't know the attribution. I thought this coin was really cool looking with such a strong offset on the portrait(s). Looks like a Nabataean. Do you think it's the same portrait or different ones? What I can't understand about this coin is how the portrait is double, the spearing soldiers and the legends are double but the fallen horseman and the horse are not....nor the mint mark.

augustus1 Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 08/28/2012 09:58 am I'd say the horse is double. I se the horse's neck twice. The fallen horseman's turned-back head appears clearly only once because the second location has relief at that point where it would be, with the rotation and displacement the other parts show. Double strikes are neat! -- Warren Report this Post to the Staff
Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 08/28/2012 10:11 am Yes, after I posted I saw the second neck of the horse. It does makes sense that the rotation was just right so the horseman's head on appears once. What a coincidence. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
