<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 844824, member: 15199"]Might be from electrotype dies, but the reason I had doubts about die struck , was that there was a lot of abrasive work ( you can see some that is at the sprue point ( or cud if die struck). This was on the outer edge of the coin to a lesser extent. If die struck, I would expect the rims would not need grinding. I will have to go and see if I can borrow it again and look at the edge more carefully. The weight also seemed to go towards cast, but I wouldn't bet on it. Isn't the discoloration in the wrong direction for a die clash of the wheat.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
