<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2742618, member: 19463&quot;]I have showed this Valerian antoninianus before and believe it is an example of what Carausius describes.&nbsp; Note the reverse has a very slight depression very roughly shadowing the obverse design filtered through the thickness of the flan.&nbsp; At the lower right you can see a raised section showing that the two flans were not stacked perfectly straight on top of one another.&nbsp;&nbsp; At the same time as this was made there should have been a reverse only coin but the two of them were separated soon after striking.&nbsp; This is not a filed off reverse since that would show marks and would not have the depression. Were both accepted in commerce?&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]626361[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
