<p>[QUOTE="Mainebill, post: 3459844, member: 44004"]I think it was a alloy mix problem a vein of a different metal that caused the brittleness. You can see the different color around the break. And the crystalline structure in the break shows it being natural to the metal not done with some tool. Very cool thing. Probably when it broke and couldn’t be spent someone said what do I do with this thing tossed it in a drawer and forgot about it for a hundred years[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
