Notes:
(1) It is tempting to proclaim that this coin may be more of an inscription error than an inscription variation. The engraver may have tried to cut the inscripntion used on RIC #091. However, there are three similar coins on this site from three different dies, from the same officina. (2) VAuctions Auction 252: Lot No. 123 (3) From the Zachary "Beast" Beasley Collection of Camp Gates.
