A coin that got me started collecting overstrikes: Teos stater over Aegina.

Wow, that is the turtle on the reverse, right? What a wonderful example.

A spectacular overstrike!

Some members might not realize that djmacdo is the author of a wonderful book, Overstruck Greek Coins.

And I just ordered that book, looks completely fascinating even if I am not focused on overstrikes, just the information this book promises to have, based on my looking at reviews, is going to be extremely interesting and add to my knowledge base of Greek coins.

Thanks again esnible, for bringing this book to my attention. I figure there is no way I can go wrong.

A truly beautiful image of a griffin as well as a spectacular overstrike.

An excellent reference coin as well as a collection highlight!

Best regards,
