<p>[QUOTE="Theodosius, post: 2950870, member: 77077"][USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] Thanks for the post! Taking a photo with the undertype oriented vertically is a good idea, I will remember that. I agree that knowing the undertype makes a big difference in appreciating the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I showed your overstruck Gordian to my wife and she was as amazed by it as I have always been. Like you said, where was Mr. Gordian all this time for him to get overstruck so many years later. Makes you wonder if any copper coin of about the right weight would pass in circulation for hundreds of years without much quibble. I would be totally thrilled to find something even close to this. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
