jaymassive79 Valued Member United Kingdom 59 Posts	Posted 06/23/2021 6:13 pm Thanks Bob Turns out the seller sent me the wrong one as he had 2. He was great though and sent the right one out which came today. I just need to send the 1st back now. Jay Report this Post to the Staff
hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3641 Posts	Posted 06/23/2021 8:06 pm Quick question - I notice both these coins have a small circular indention in the center of both the obverse and reverse. Is that part of the design elements or something else? I've never collected ancients but find them very interesting, and just found this a bit curious... Thanks! Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.
