<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 905174, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;ll be the first to adnmit that I know nothing about ancient coins.

Then he removes the struck coin by hand and tosses it into the pile of completed coins. Then he starts over.</p><p><br /></p><p>So it&#039;s not like what happens with a machine. And it&#039;s not like the minter is going to forget to remove the struck coin either.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I don&#039;t see any way for a brockage to occur with a hammered coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think the OP&#039;s coin is just a modern token or medal of some kind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
