[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 4890868, member: 20480"]I know next to nothing about foreign coins, but I think know a lot about manufacturing processes, and the above coin definitely does not look like a casting to me. In fact, it appears to me that it was made by striking details into one face only, as if with punches and a hammer. One side of the piece displays perfect transference of outdented details from the indented details on the opposite side. That's not to say that this isn't a coin. As I wrote before, I know nothing about foreign coinage. Not knowing any better, I'll offer the benefit of the doubt, and accept the possiblity that some early coiners may have manufactured their coins this way, until I learn differently. I'll leave that conclusion to others . . .[/QUOTE]
