<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2763602, member: 19463&quot;]A problem I have with overstrikes is that they come with a desire/need to buy a coin to show the undertype and, sometimes, another of the same coin that is not confused by being overstruck.&nbsp; Many Byzantines are overstruck and every so often you see one that shows a third type that was under the undertype.&nbsp; These are not supposed to be beautiful but they have lots of personality.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Often it helps to shoot an extra photo of the coin placing the top as it was on the undertype.&nbsp; This can make it easier to see what was part of which design.&nbsp; If you turn yours over you can see the top of the undertype head with one bold eye under the reverse legend. People differ on how they value such coins but ones that can be figured out as to what contributed to the mess have some value.&nbsp; $10 is a fair price or even a good deal. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I do have a page:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac70byz.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac70byz.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac70byz.html</a></p><p>but it needs updating to include my latest and greatest overstrike - the Anonymous Class A3 over an as of Gordian III that was 800 years old when it was &#039;updated&#039;. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]635717[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
