<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 2315142, member: 74282"]This is surprisingly common with Republican bronze. There is also an interesting variant of this method where the flans for the asses of a series were cast using the two piece molds and the semises were cast using one half of the two piece mold along with a flat surface, leading to a flan of roughly half the weight and depth but the same diameter. The "SAFRA" as that I recently posted was also made in a two piece mold with slight flan separation but it's so slight that at first glance I think most might mistake it as a casting seam but upon closer inspection you see the separation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
