<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 7776719, member: 74282&quot;]That is an excellent coin.

I&#039;m a big fan of overstrikes and this in my opinion is one of the overall best eye appeal examples of this common overstrike, much better than the usual completely ruined examples you come across. I had to have this one when it came back on the market, but I hate the circumstances that allowed me to bid on it. At any rate, it is a keeper for me and is probably one of the last coins I&#039;d ever sell.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1333993[/ATTACH] </p><p>Roman Republic Æ Triens(20mm, 5.88g, 12h), anonymous(&quot;CA&quot; series), 209-195 B.C., Canusium(?) mint.
