That is an excellent example, geraltttt82. I have a couple and they are nowhere near as clear as yours.

That's indeed a nice example..  Quote:These coins were struck on top of a previous issue. See https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces2276.html for more info. I've never seen any and I've been looking for ages. @Pertinax, there are still plenty nice ones to find.. I buy coins per kilogram, always from the same seller.. and have now 5 very good examples in my Italian album.. and even one showing the full date and the denomination on the other side.. So one day, when you not expected, one will pop-up for you..  And what about the zinc Groschen from Austria, the years after WWII. A lot of them are struck on the German Reichspfennig.. These are a bit harder to find as zinc is 'softer'.. but these are often overseen, by fellow collectors.. I'm always on the hunt for these.. |

Quite common and affordable. One of the easier overstruck coins to find.  |

Found yesterday another great example in a lot I bought per kilogram..  In the hand even better, I think 90% of the donor coin is visible..  |

Incredible example! Can you see the reeded edge from the host coin on that one?
I have one that shows about as much as your first example, at least half the reeds are visible.

Huh. I have one of these coins, but to my shame, I don't think I've ever examined it closely enough to make out traces of a previous striking.
