<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1791385, member: 42773&quot;]It&#039;s actually very quick and efficient, if you&#039;re willing to settle for weak pieces. You don&#039;t need to cast blanks or adjust them - just pour the metal into the mold, let it cool, then break off the coins. The technique was used occasionally in the ancient world.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The problem is, as the metal cools, it contracts, and distorts the devices on the coin. Cast coins never have the level of detail you find in struck ones. It appears the one you posted is just such an example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
