<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2850268, member: 19463&quot;]I have shown this Magnentius AE2 too many times but I do like the coin very much. It is a doublestrike in that there was only one die set used in its production.&nbsp; The first strike was a brockage showing two reverses, one normal and one incuse.&nbsp; The second strike was normal with the obverse falling on the original normal reverse and the second reverse falling on the original incuse/brockage. That means the coin is a flipover doublestruck brockage.&nbsp; It has one obverse and three reverse strikes but one of those reverses is an incuse.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]676283[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Also shown before and a bit odd is a very ordinary AE3 doublestrike of Constantine I from Rome - ordinary except that the reverse die shows considerable damage from a previous die clash most notably leaving a shadow of the portrait on the reverse.&nbsp; The offsets of the two strikes on both sides match in direction and degree.&nbsp; This doubling of the incuse shows that it was part of the die and not a brockage. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]676285[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
