<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2207732, member: 26302&quot;]Nah, don&#039;t be embarrassed man. I love you posted yours. Its a great lesson for new collectors of what different types of coins are. Most newer collectors would see these pieces and either not know what they are, or think they are all the same. Doug&#039;s pieces are examples of double striking, or overstriking. However, they weren&#039;t really trying to retariff a coin, rather simply reuse a flan or an error in production. Yours, though, was intentionally keeping the host coin intact, and just reauthorizing them for use under the new leadership of Heraclius.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So Doug&#039;s is an overstrike, yours is a countermark. They look similar sometimes, but are different animals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
