<p>[QUOTE=&quot;archicard, post: 2811858, member: 57124&quot;]I also thought that it was a flip over strike but the two horses are distinctly different. The horse on the obverse is larger and standing while the horse on the reverse is galloping (or in motion). </p><p><br /></p><p>The bust on Doug&#039;s coin is very similar to the one that is overstruck on my coin. I don&#039;t believe it to be Tanit so that would also rule out the flip over strike idea. The horse and palm tree is definitely below the overstruck bust and is in keeping with other Carthage coinage that I&#039;ve seen.</p><p><br /></p><p>So could it have started out as a Akragas coin similar to Doug&#039;s, then only the obverse overstruck in Carthage, and finally the obverse overstruck with the bust? Seems like a reach but I&#039;m not sure how else to figure it out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for all of the replies so far.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
