<p>[QUOTE="OldFlyByNightUK, post: 2997482, member: 93083"]Thank you PatAR, there's where I don't know the practicalities of producing coins in 1707 ... The coin that I thought similar, was sold in December 2016, and I've borrowed a copy of their photo (here) - The G and R are so close to having a 'gap', and the I has almost lost its seriph - do you mean the artifact near the G is the point where 2 or 3 of the 'denticles' are merged and bigger than the others? Is that a potential one off?</p><p>I don't want you to explain too much, but how were coins 'struck' back then? One at a time, using machines or by hand? In my ignorance, all I have to go on is period films where the blacksmith beats hell out of a an old horse-shoe and in the next scene, he's got a bright shiny sword (if you know what I mean - I am that naive). Could you or someone please point me at a book or web page - thank you. </p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/img-jpg.740881/?temp_hash=b2a4230dc7abd31ab76e397630c1074a" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/img-jpg.740881/?temp_hash=b2a4230dc7abd31ab76e397630c1074a"><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/data/attachments/700/700164-67d142da71c17093559cc4dad26fde71.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a> [ATTACH=full]740881[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
