<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldCoinLover, post: 696845, member: 4336&quot;]Very true! I remember this from the book numismatic forgery on casting coins!</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the spure is there so you have something to &#039;grab&#039; after the coin has been made, its very hot. I&#039;ll have to check the book again to make sure, I&#039;m going through my second read on it, but its much harder to memorize everything in it! Doug said in another thread that you gotta study the book down to where you can remember everything, that&#039;s what I&#039;m trying to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>After the sprue is removed there is a seam where it was attached, so the forger may burnish the metal, or using other means (burnishing is just polishing the metal with other metal), or tool it so the seam is not visible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
