<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1148366, member: 19463&quot;]I can&#039;t say I see FSR 420 as double struck.&nbsp; I just saw the eye work on that die as pretty bad but could be wrong.&nbsp; The coin is Cyzicus mint and typically crude.&nbsp; I can&#039;nt say I have seen as many &#039;double&#039; struck Byzantines but the messy ones I have seen are overstruck on earlier coins.&nbsp; These are really a mess.&nbsp; Of course I have a page on that:</p><p><a href="http://dougsmith.ancients.info/feac70byz.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://dougsmith.ancients.info/feac70byz.html" rel="nofollow">http://dougsmith.ancients.info/feac70byz.html</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As far as value goes, I agree that normal Byzantines are worth more than the messy ones unless both contributing types are clearly and completely identifiable.&nbsp; My personal favorite is the one I show as Heraclius/Focas/Tiberius Constantine (but may be wrong).&nbsp; Any triple overstrike is welcome at my place.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
