<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2550229, member: 19463"]I know I have shown this Magnentius mess too many times but I really like error combinations. This is a flipover doublestrike where the first strike was a brockage. That resulted in one side having both an obverse on a reverse while the other has two reverses, one normal and one incuse. I regret that the patina is a bit rough but I really enjoyed figuring out which detail came from which striking. These coins were struck in a high pressure hurried atmosphere. Most coins fell cleanly from the die but this one landed back rather well aligned but upside down for the second strike. It is also on my favorites page.</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f95.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f95.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f95.html</a></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f95.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
