<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2552486, member: 76086&quot;]Yes, as you acknowledge (and I guess I am taking the bait, I am a sucker!), true, ancient coins flans are cast and do exhibit seams on many resulting struck coins.&nbsp; Just because you have not seen one does not mean they dont exist.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I dont know who told you that, but it is rather plebeian.&nbsp; We should all know better.&nbsp; This is one of those situations where I tell people, &#039;the internet is not always true.&nbsp; Buy a few books.&#039;&nbsp; If your education is largely gained from the internet you have only one tiny portion, and most of it is likely wrong.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Do I have a database of edge seams?&nbsp; No.&nbsp; Likely nobody on earth does.&nbsp; But those of us who know how coins were made dont need that fictional database.&nbsp; We have our experience, we have handled countless thousands of coins, and have seen many multiples of that in photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once again, I offer no opinion on the coin in question.&nbsp; It needs to be seen in person.&nbsp; I do however offer my opinion on flan creation and preparation and the resulting characteristics.&nbsp; I dont think there will be any who disagree. Darn.&nbsp; Buy a book or two![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
