<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2467929, member: 76194"]Does anyone else think the L on the reverse, being barely present, and the raised lines in the area where it is, are evidence of an attempt to repair the ancient die prior to striking, or evidence of metal being taken away from the flan prior to striking to bring the flan within the weight tolerances? Whatever it is, looks like something was going on prior to this coin being struck. It didn't affect my desire to buy it either way, but I am curious as to what it could be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
