<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1148333, member: 26302&quot;]Sorry I was lazy and didn&#039;t post a link to Frank&#039;s auction:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.fsrcoin.com/33.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.fsrcoin.com/33.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.fsrcoin.com/33.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Lot 420, look at the eyes.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is just an example how Byzantine coins were frequently double struck, so they aren&#039;t unique to scyphates. Therefor I am not sure the double strikes on the scyphates really prove their minting technique. I have a John VIII that is similarly double struck, and it is a flat silver coin. Not saying what you are saying is incorrect Gao, just pointing out how badly Byzantines in general were struck. Heck, sometimes is a chore to find a non error Byzantine. I literally laughed out loud at a local coin show once when a dealer was making a huge deal about the minting error on a Byzantine of his. I told him I would ask his price if he could find me a NON error of that issue, (eight century bronze).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
