<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2503328, member: 19463"]I seem o have a problem going to shows and seeing a coin I like only to make a mistake on what I already had. This causes duplicates. The last show I attended provided me with the first coin below but when I got home I saw I had the second. I have another show tomorrow. Do I take it and try for a trade or keep both? I decided I did not need both and that I liked the old one better so I got out the new one to take with me to a local sho tomorrow to see what I could do. That is when second thoughts set in. I saw a bit of die clash on the reverse but I started trying to imagine the coin might be overstruck on an earlier coin. Certainly it had a hard strike with some extra details but I have been unable to identify any certain undertype and an overstrike without recognizing the undertype is not much of a special coin. So what do you see here? Is this first coin worth keeping? Do you see an overstrike or just a clash? I'll carry it to the show tomorrow and see if it follows me home again. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]531484[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Victorinus 269-271 AD AE antoninianus / SALVS AVG Salus right holding snake</p><p><br /></p><p>For comparison, my other one is below. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]531493[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
