<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 5388166, member: 44316"]Doug is right, as usual. Error coins can be of interest in US coins where almost all are struck correctly and double strikes are very unusual. But, in ancient coins "errors" of that magnitude (on the OP coin) are all too common and collectors generally avoid them as serious detractions. It begins to be interesting when they look like this or worse:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1231400[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1231399[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Claudius II, 268-270.</p><p>Even so, this piece does not have the value of a well-struck regular coin of Claudius II.
