<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 2552298, member: 76086"]Seams are not always indicative of a fake. It is very important to remember that blank flans were cast (how else could they possibly be made? Well, I suppose with modern coins they can be punched or cut out of sheets, but that's not how it was done then). So, there are many genuine coins with residual casting seams. Such an characteristic is not condemning by itself. I would not offer an opinion on this if I could not see the coin itself. Quite impossible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
