<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Black Friar, post: 2288623, member: 76221&quot;]Let me expand on my last posting.&nbsp; One needs to examine how coins are made.&nbsp; Ancient coins as has been pointed out,&nbsp; are struck one at a time so each strike in a way of speaking is unique.&nbsp; Machine struck coins by their very process are struck for mass distribution and unique does indeed come into play with errors, ancient, medieval, or modern.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen NINE Lincoln cents struck on top of each other resulting in those coins stacked upon each other.&nbsp; I have handled a Connecticut copper struck with two different reverse dies.&nbsp; It is unique, and most likely a contrived piece but historically, and numismaticaly important none the less.&nbsp; It is very unlikely two with the same reverse dies were struck; at least to my knowledge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, one can have a coins that is unique to the owners collecting habits.&nbsp; That would be a unique coin for you.&nbsp;&nbsp; I love flip-over double strikes, and coins struck out of collar.&nbsp; Most are too rich for my blood but one can find them especially in the ancient realm. So yes, let&#039;s see them and have some fun together.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
