<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3226217, member: 19463&quot;]While I agree, I also note that quite a few of these show little casting voids and smoothing scratches that were not erased when struck with the dies.&nbsp; Some suffer from weak strikes which is not all that surprising for large bronzes of this date. The technology/muscle required to transfer full detail on these coins is more than some of us had considered.&nbsp; My only other Rhodian bronze is this Nike reverse AE36 which has a considerably domed reverse die.&nbsp; This allowed better central detail transfer than a perfectly flat die would have if weekly struck.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]841093[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
