Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 08/10/2011 10:36 am I have a Carausius that seems to have been struck twice. Its a RIC 482, Obv: IMP C CARAVSIVS PF I AVG, draped, cuirassed, and radiate bust r; and Rev: PAX AVG, Pax stg. l. holding olive branch & vertical scepter, S P in l. & r. fields. Evidence above the obverse legend at 1 and 3 o'clock indicates this coin may have been struck twice (the extended "V" above the first "S" and the "A" that seems to take the place of the final "S" in CARAVSIVS). Does anyone else see it as a possible double strike or am I imagining things? Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 08/10/2011 8:02 pm I see something there that looks like it might be a double strike. I would expect to see some doubling on the other letters too, but don't. Report this Post to the Staff
