[QUOTE="rrdenarius, post: 2616363, member: 75525"]You can see the double strike in the second coin you posted. The cross is not symmetrical because part of the line was from a previous strike (I think). Double strikes come in many forms. They can be a coin struck on a different issuing authorities coin like this - [ATTACH]573344[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]573345[/ATTACH] A Roman Republican sextans over a manheaded bull (not Roman) or one can strike on an older coin [ATTACH]573346[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]573347[/ATTACH] RR quadrans over uncia (a 3 dot over a 1 dot coin) [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] had an excellent post on the subject. He shows some coins similar to yours. [url]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/byzantine-games-for-the-truly-bored.284635/#post-2534012[/url][/QUOTE]
