<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 8015881, member: 82549&quot;]Considering how difficult it must be to stamp an impression onto a bronze coin of that size, it&#039;s not at all surprising that many of these coins are double struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>But having two centering dots is another story entirely. [USER=84744]@Severus Alexander[/USER], I think you&#039;ve argued (way back on Moneta_L?) that these dots were part of the lathe used to prepare the flans. If that 2nd dot was indeed a centering dot, that would suggest that it was part of the die. So I&#039;m guessing that it&#039;s not a centering dot but just the result of corrosion or perhaps a flaw in the flan.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it&#039;s still an impressive coin.
