<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3504866, member: 19463&quot;]Technically, as I understand the matter, a double or triple strike involves a single die pair while coins struck using previous coins as blanks are termed &quot;overstrikes.&quot;&nbsp; That would make Orielensis&#039; coin a doublestrike and an overstrike.&nbsp;&nbsp; These terms have been muddied recently with the posts by Curtis Clay showing coins that were struck twice ob the reverse using different dies but only once on the obverse.&nbsp; The theory here is that the striking team consisted of two reverse die handlers sharing a single anvil die so a coin that was not removed from the anvil after striking was hit again using the alternate reverse die.&nbsp; In this case one side would seem to the an overstrike while the other was not.&nbsp; This thread was about double strikes so I did not post overstrikes which are most certainly deserving of a thread all of their own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
