<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2550221, member: 19463&quot;]This Constantine I Rome mint AE3 is one of my favorite coins.</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f82.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f82.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f82.html</a></p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/image/145451426.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>What makes it special is the reverse die being damaged by a die clash leaving an incuse of the obverse design that shows twice offset by the same amount as the double strike on the rest of the coin.&nbsp; This demonstrates that the die clash is damage to the die and not something like a restruck brockage as proposed by some people. Some doubles can be ugly and confusing but I always liked the combination of the bold face and doubled back of head on this coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
