<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 5260723, member: 98035&quot;]Some ancient coins (especially the high relief Greek ones) were probably struck more than one time in the die. Die shift means that it wasn&#039;t completely lined up for one of the strikes - it&#039;s basically the same as machine doubling on modern coins. It isn&#039;t taken as a positive, and can be between a neutral and negative impact on the price and marketability of an ancient.</p><p><br /></p><p>My Alexander the Great tet has die shift on the reverse; probably what kept it under $500. It is notoriously difficult to photograph, but looks fine in hand. The die shift is most noticeable in front of Zeus&#039;s face and the top of the eagle&#039;s head.[ATTACH=full]1219792[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
