<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 5263719, member: 97383&quot;]Steve, To a &quot;purest&quot; a die-shift on an ancient coin is a common flaw. To many collectors of ancient coins it isn&#039;t important, especially considering ancient coins are struck by hand. I have backed-off on acquiring coins that have a strong doubled image unless the coin was extremely rare or a high grade. One such coin is pictured below.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1219954[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1219955[/ATTACH] </p><p>There is a strong die shift on the reverse of this coin that is very noticeable on the right side of the inscription. I eagerly paid $750.00 for this coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I later put the coin in a Heritage auction &amp; it sold for $3,840.00 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
