<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1149338, member: 26302&quot;]No, of course not. In fact when I buy the Ptolemy large bronzes I always look for a large prominent pit since I think it adds character. A person has to have some seriously deep pockets to collect ancient coins without &quot;character&quot;, lol.</p><p><br /></p><p>My only point earlier was this centration dimples was done on some smaller bronzes too, and it seems those, due to their size, are more easily covered up by the strike and therefor not as visible. Either that or the smoothing process wasn&#039;t done as heavily on them.&nbsp; One of the coins where it doesn&#039;t show on the obverse was from an uncleaned lot of coins that I removed what I believe the original dirt myself. The mark is on the obverse, and after further inspection is locateable on the obverse, though not with a naked eye.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
