<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2778363, member: 19463"]I believe that is a restruck brockage but only the second one I have seen that I believe to be that. Most I have seen advertised are actually clashed dies. I doubted there were any restruck brockages until I saw the Magnentius AE2 coin below. The coin shows one strike of the obverse die, two normal strikes of the reverse die (one on each side) and one incuse image of the reverse from the brockage strike. The first strike was a brockage of the reverse (suggesting the obverse die was on top) giving a coin with two reverses, one incuse. The coin was then struck a second time placing the normal obverse over the normal reverse and a normal reverse over the incuse reverse. I suspect that the coin would have looked more normal if the coin had not been flipped over between the strikes. Then there would be two strikes of the reverse on one side and the obverse die should have done a better job erasing the incuse reverse. I need to find another coin that demonstrates or disproves this theory. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]642085[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>My largest brockage is a dupondius of Claudius but is not the official Rome mint product so may not count.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]642096[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
