<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 3999167, member: 26302"]Agree with your excellent write up. My only nagging thought is the shape of the planchet. Yes, from Ptolemaic times onward they cast bronze planchets so that one side is smaller diameter than the other. However, all I have seen/handled/owned were fairly linear slopes like a "/". From the bottom pic, this one looks very curved. Have you seen this much? I would defer to you since you have a more extensive collection of these.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
