What is a restrike and/or second plate?

0

The term “restrike” means that the plate is printed again. This creates a situation of questionable ethics, unless previously disclosed to the buyers of the original edition. Destroying or canceling the plates prevents restriking. For a “second state,” the plate is altered in some way, so that the new image differs from the original.
