<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 4353816, member: 51347&quot;]Nice find, [USER=85693]@Marsyas Mike[/USER] ! They took a lotta metal off yours. Marred and scarred. I think the die-cutter had to be ticked-off with his artwork violated. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Like you, cuz of all the yammering about stannard scoops, and al marco, etc., I had to capture one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mine had Hercules having the muscle ripped from his leg, causing Roma on the obverse to look like she could see her breath on a cold winter day...</p><p><br /></p><p>In my manufacturing experience, the interruption marks made by the scoop would be called “chatter” marks, as the tool would hesitate and slightly jump as it cut across the metal. This is because the user could not keep up consistent and proper pressure while drawing the tool. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2019-2-26_9-45-34-png.897823/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Roman Repubic</p><p>C POBLICIUS Q f</p><p>80 BCE</p><p>AR Denarius serratus 3.94g</p><p>Rome mint</p><p>Obv: Roma Helmeted and Draped Bust; Feathers in Hlmet (always reminded me of the Samnium feather dressing)</p><p>Rev: Stannard Scoop on reverse - Flan al Marco weight control gouge</p><p>Hercules strangling the Nemean lion club quiver</p><p>Craw 380-1 Syd 768[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
