<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Black Bart, post: 2734410, member: 83417&quot;]Thanks for the new photos. The edge does not suggest casting. In my opinion the only perplexing issue remaining is the extended length of the exergue line on your coin. Barring a Roman die re-engraving effort the most plausible explanations for the shorter line on the Naumann coin are that the right end of the line simply did not &quot;strike up&quot; or that the die was partially &quot;filled&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>The similarity of flan shapes is probably coincidental as the many unique Naumann obverse striking irregularities are missing on your coin. I do notice that your coin has a slightly granular surface which is bothersome as is the general lack of expansion edge cracks. If you paid enough for the coin I think you should consider sending it to David Sear for peace of mind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
