Hello everyone! Just thought I would share one of my new coins with you. Let me know what you think.

For its state of preservation the obverse of this coin will be featured in an upcoming edition of ERIC II.

It looks like the reverse is doubled.

Does that happen often?

Is it more desirable as in modern coins?

A very nice coin, thanks for the view

The doubled impression on the reverse won't make much difference to the value.
This coin just happens to be very nice one. Coins of Severus Alexander often turn up in nice condition, I have a Severus Alexander myself, but this is one of the best I have seen.

With this coin, the lower die is fixed, and the metal is struck by the reverse die. In this case, the coiner has struck the reverse twice. The reverse die has bounced before being struck again. The slight doubling as seen would not have even been considered as an error by the coiner. Partial doubling does not occur on ancient coins, because they never used working dies or hubs, in the way modern coins are made.

Thanks everyone..

I'm excited to own the coin! I'm not sure if I over paid for it or not? I'm still new at this. Considering the coins condition and the fact that it's a PLATE coin. (used in ERIC II) The coin comes with a C.O.A. by Rasiel Suarez. I bought the coin from Rasiel. (author of ERIC II).

Any guesses?
