gxseries Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I have been hiding away doing a lot of things and this is one of them - I have been cataloging what coins I have in my collection.This is a rather niche market to collect and I just have to get my head stuck in this. Think it's a really really bad habit of mine.For those who don't know what overstruck means, it means using an old coin instead of a fresh new planchet to be struck as a 'new' coin. The result is that it may have traces of the old design under the newly struck coin.Here are some of my favorites:The rest of my collection can be seen here: http://gxseries.com/numis/overstrike/world_overstrike.htmPlease feel free to show some of your awesome overstruck coins!

Jazinta Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Your 960 reis coin is very nice. Sadly i don't have any coins that are overstruck, only notes with new values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
