<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3463277, member: 19463&quot;]Not that there is any chance that I would ever bid on a Regalianus of any sort, I have to say that I would consider it a major selling point for a Regalianus coin to have a clear undertype easily identifiable on both sides.&nbsp; I like overstrikes in general but this is especially true when a ruler is known and expected to have used earlier coins for the purpose.
