<p>[QUOTE="montanan_1976, post: 1496474, member: 39495"]Okay, I see. I found some US splasher examples. Mine don't look like them at all. And I'm still trying to figure out why make a double headed Buffalo coin out of two lead Buffalo coins? Did they really have that much time on their hands to mess with coins? </p><p>I smelted some metal in my youth and did ceramics so I'm a little familiar with molds for ceramics and metal. The smelting of the Morgan puzzles me. The other four coins were made with some obvious care. But the Morgan, it was like there was no care in how it was made with all the cud on the obverse. It's like several or more were possibly made prior to it and when it was made no care to clean the mold or repair it from use was attempted.</p><p>I would think anyone wanting to make a decent replica would do that. But no care was used for the Morgan. Sheesh... more questions and few answers, lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
