<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Moe &quot;Wolfy&quot; Wilder, post: 4972283, member: 114824&quot;]At least part of the time, I think the size and weight discrepancies are owing to many of them being counterstruck over older follis. I have seen some anonymous follis where enough of the earlier coin(s)&#039; designs show through to attribute it as well (and even one where the expert was able to identify TWO previous strikes), but I would think most of the time, the mint tried to overstrike worn coins and strike so as to obliterate as much as possible of the remnants of the previous design.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
