<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3081918, member: 76194&quot;]After carefully reading the article, I have no doubt that my Athenian tetradrachm was a re-cast using a folded flan. Not only does the position of the AOE offer proof, but it also accounts for the somewhat oval irregular shape of the flan (most obvious when looking at the obverse), and also explains the irregular edges...which I noticed from when I first got the coin that they looked as if someone had folded the flan on itself (and finally thanks to your article I can now confirm that to be the case.)</p><p><br /></p><p>What that means is that my Tet started life at an earlier point in time...perhaps as far back as Athen&#039;s Golden Age, only to be re-cast around 354BCE by having the flan folded over. Interesting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
