Afternoon all,

Just acquired this little piece and wondered if there was an 8 over 8 variety, or whether this was just an overstrike? I've looked in Freeman but can't see anything, but I know there are a couple of 5 over types.

Unfortunately I can't zoom in clearly on it, but hope it can be seen.

I'd say it was a simple and straightforward repunching of the 8 and 6, a very very common phenomenon with early bronze.
