<p>[QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 4983075, member: 87404"]I just picked up this coin and it was delivered today. Yes, it could be considered to be less desirable than others of the type (MAA 57) due to the flan, but for me that was what sold it... Many of this type have the remnants of the sprue extending beyond the circle, but this is much different. It's quite an irregular and mangle-y example of a cast flan, but the striker must've thought it was still worthy of circulation and hammered away. And for it to have then lasted until today and not removed from circulation and melted down into something else. To me, it is equally fascinating and special. You can get more "perfect" examples of this type, but try finding one like this! </p><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/incollage_20201031_185419984.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
