<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 290173, member: 4373&quot;]Currently this is under investigation but this is one particular coin that has the potential to wreck everything known: </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/930426.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>1795/88 MM 1 kopek over 1788 (MM) 1 kopek over 1762 1 kopek</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the 1795 MM 1 kopek, i.e Moscow mint 1 kopek were overstruck on Moldavian coinages, making this relatively rare. A survey done in the past by Steve Moulding had 300+ 1795 1 kopek investigated. Out of that, only 6 were overstrucked Moldavian coinages and that&#039;s said to be already scarce, if not rare. So far, my overstruck coin of 1795/88 MM 1 kopek over 1788 (MM) 1 kopek is already said to be very rare as there is only one example known, that is in the catalogue book. The more interesting discovery comes here - most of the 1788MM 1 kopek known are overstruck on 1762 2 kopeks, not 1 kopek and therefore this changes the whole defination of overstriking. </p><p><br /></p><p>Overstrucking was mainly done to revalue the denomination but my example here appearently means nothing. Perhaps you might see something about this in the future but it&#039;s still under investigation <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
