Restrike

When coins are struck from the original dies at a later time. Many of the coins from the Soho Mint were restruck when Taylor bought the old dies for scrap metal value. Until the 1960s the Indian government would strike coins going back to the period of Victoria for you if you gave them old rupees in their place. Collectors should be aware that restrikes exist and that they do not bring as much as the original strikes do. Restrikes also diminish the value of the original strikings.
