General issues
Greek overstrikes are not a rare phenomenon. Thousands of them could be gather althopugh most coinages are totally deprived of any. As a rule, they tend to form clusters at various levels. A full landscape could be affected including various mints of the same area and time. At a ower level, The 1.
The level of confidence
In case an identification of the overstruck type is made, there are 4 levels of confidence: "uncertain", "weak", "strong", "sure". The level "uncertain" applies when one is not sure that this is really an overstrike (and not a double strike, or any other accident which may have happened). The level "sure" means that the identification of the general type is sure. But not, if made, the precise variety.
