<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 911351, member: 24633"]Please correct me if I'm wrong since I don't collect ancients, but weren't most of them "hammered" using rather crude equipment (as compared to the last couple of centuries)? For example, if no retaining collar was used, wouldn't the metal of the hammered planchet have a tendency to flow away from the area of impact where the greatest force was applied. Aren't many of the coins out-of-round as a general rule? If that is the case, I don't see how you could apply the same standard other than an approximation of diameter.</p><p> </p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
