<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4353825, member: 19463"]Note that if your Gordian were centered properly, the raised dot would have moved up and right and been lost inside the centration mark. On my coin (which I bought to demonstrate the point on my web page) you can see the compass dot between the two noses where it belongs (slightly closer to hers) but the centering placed the centration pit way over on Gordian's face. I liked the way this coin shows the edge of the die and the area with lathe marks outside the part of the flan smoothed when struck.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1101624[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
