Could I get some opinions on this coin from my fellow forumites? I know it's a lightside coin but I'm interested in your interpretations as well.image

    Thank you gxseries (gx stands for what)?


    This was an interesting definition of overstruck from a lightside forum member.

    This was an excellent link which seems to indicate some genuiness.

    Come on people, no one else here knows a lot about overstruck coins? image

    I know they are just "ugly" but they are interesting!

    Here is a post about overstruck Russian coins that someone has mentioned before.

    This is the most bizarre overstruck coin that I have:

    Russia 1759 2kopeks over 1755 1 kopek over 1727 5 kopeks!!! I should call that an 8 kopeks coin (and can you believe all years are present on that single coin???)

    Can't say overstruck coins have ever entertained me, i don't dislike them. They're just not me that's all.
