<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3735820, member: 19463&quot;]I suggest examining the edges of the really thick coin for signs of a seam but not the kind we fear from fake coins.&nbsp; These coins were struck very quickly.&nbsp; If two blanks had stuck together without being noticed they could be struck together and &#039;welded&#039; by the heat and pressure.&nbsp; Both Finn&#039;s and TIF&#039;s coins show a trace of this possible evidence.&nbsp; I have posted here several times my Valerian where the two flans were not perfectly aligned, not struck hard enough to fuse and fell apart later.&nbsp; When rushed to the extremes that must have been necessary to meet demands of this period, such errors should be expected.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1001775[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
