<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 679969, member: 19463&quot;]While edge splits are common these look a bit like the coin was nailed to a flat surface (coffin, ship mast). That is the same guess I have for my three holer:</p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/image/70190842.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>...and for the record: Some Roman Republican denarii were issued with edge cuts done by hand. Students disagree on the reasoning but many think it was to build confidence that the coin was solid silver. This is no more a fault than edge reeding on modern coins. </p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/image/116835200.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
