DeadandCompany New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 05/09/2022 04:56 am Thank you for your replies. Actually, I have seen examples of US coins that have been over struck of foreign coins, but not the other way around. I've looked at this coin under a microscope, and the 'raised letters' are not glue. They are copper. Report this Post to the Staff

bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24153 Posts	Posted 05/09/2022 09:14 am Way too many pics. (Over 4 MB for one coin) One full obverse, one full reverse and a closeup or 2 if needed is sufficient most of the time and would have been here. Just makes it easier for you and especially for people on mobile. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 05/09/2022 3:53 pm Yes, there are coins that are struck over coins. This is not one of them. When that happens, it will remove almost all the features of the first strike, leaving a kind of ghost image. And to many pics. Report this Post to the Staff
