<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 8530323, member: 24754&quot;]I collect Roman coins, but I like to look through the Greek and Hellenistic coinage in auction listings from time to time because they are interesting. I&#039;ve seen these Ptolemy ## bronzes before, and from time to time noticed that cone-shaped, pin-hole that looked like it&#039;d been milled into the center of the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first couple of times that I saw this type of thing, I assumed that it was something that somebody had done to the coin while in circulation. However, I&#039;ve now seen enough of them to make me think it is something else. Do the pinholes have something to do with the manufacturing process, or was it done systematically for some other reason?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
