<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Plumbata, post: 3559937, member: 96864&quot;]That is an interesting coin, I&#039;m not sure the orientation of the reverse image relative to the obverse, is there any overlap at all? I think it would take some experimentation but figure that the dies/stamps don&#039;t need to be perfectly aligned for a &quot;reverse&quot; strike to be made.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have 2 noteworthy countermarked (counterstamped?) Greek coins with apparent 2-die strikes. Coins were flipped left-to-right for reverse images.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]946377[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]946378[/ATTACH]</p><p>Coin on the left is 17mm 3.25g, and has 3 obverse marks. Bow and Arrow which is aligned with the Horse head mark on the reverse, then a 6-pointed star with raised pellet on reverse, then the apparent first stamp was a seated lion or sphinx.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin on the right i think is a dichalkon, from Kyme in Aeolis, and is 16mm and 3.68g. It has a grape-bunch stamp aligned with an 8-rayed Argead star on the other side.</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t tried attributing the counterstamps yet so don&#039;t know who made them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
