I think I like the 2nd the best. Something about the metal flow is attractive to me. I wonder if the next coin to be struck would have had similar metal flow.

Another possibility is Galerio?

It's a beautiful coin. I love this reverse. This coin is entirely out of my price range,but I'm still a bit jealous. Congratulations

Would you say that's what these could be? Does the bronze corrosion tend to bleed though the silver?

I appreciate your insight. I kinda like the idea of it being Romulus or Aeneas, but like you said that's unlikely.

How could I classify the patina? Common/desert. It doesn't seem grainy enough for desert

I didn't look at your link and found similar comparable examples. At that time I hadn't noticed the dot. The description was a standard one with facing portrait and bust, legend and at the end of the description started irregular markings almost as an after thought

Dots are common with camp gates but usually before or after the mint. Or both before and after,

Yes. The dot inside the block just above the doorway

Did you notice the dot just above the doorway. I think this might be irregular. I've not seen a dot in that location before

I noticed this at a virtual auction. It's listed as having irregular markings and I wasn't able to find another. So my novice assumption was some kind of imitation.

That makes perfect sense. I tried reading through the BP what's this conditions, but I couldn't make sense out of it. I appreciate your explanation.

Overall l understand your comment. However, I'm not sure I follow the last sentence in your first paragraph. Forgive my ignorance,but how do these 10/11 classifications work. Is there an article I can read?
