grivna1726 Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I hope that some find this 1757 1/4 ruble interesting - That is way cool. Obviously the coin is double struck on a screw press & not removed from the dies after the first striking. With no collar, it should be wider and thinner than usual, like Elizabeth's overstrikes on coins of Ioann III are. It looks like the coin was not properly positioned for the first strike but was for the second. Correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm not sure how I missed that fact. ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the second strike was a partially successful attempt to correct the positioning and obliterate the misplaced first strike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Snyder Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Maybe the second strike was a partially successful attempt to correct the positioning and obliterate the misplaced first strike? That makes good sense. Since each coin was struck individually, the Coiner, having only seconds to react, may have tried to correct an error.
