<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2327432, member: 74282&quot;]I picked this up in the recent Agora auction but decided not to post it until I could examine it in-hand and try to determine the undertype but unfortunately the most I can tell is that it is Roman. What I thought was cool about it, aside from the fact that you don&#039;t see many semises from this series of overstrikes, is that the result of the overstrike makes it look like the galley is sinking. It&#039;s not quite as cool as Steve&#039;s Thomas the Train but it&#039;s the most dramatic overstrike I&#039;ve been able to add the collection so far. The coin has some metal issues but for $25 + juice it was just too interesting to pass up.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]471373[/ATTACH] </p><p>Roman Republic Æ Semis(24mm, 10.52g, 2h).
