<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1607345, member: 19463"]I seem to be in the minority here. A good strike will have all the legends readable and on flan. A good flan will have even surfaces without porosity. Billon coins are rather rarely strong metal but they can be well struck on full flan. There are smooth surfaced Nero/Alexandria coin but finding both at once is not something I have done.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
