[QUOTE="svessien, post: 4596047, member: 15481"]To me it looks like the flan has been clipped after striking, as there is no metal exceeding the edges or cracks after a strike. The edges are sharp, but have the same patina as the rest of the flan. The description was taken from this coin on vcoins yesterday: [ATTACH=full]1138226[/ATTACH] The link worked yesterday, but not today. Maybe they realized they were wrong.
