<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3050070, member: 19463&quot;]Usually you can see what caused the voids by turning the coin over and seeing that there is a point of high relief backing up the void on the other side.&nbsp; Why some coins were affected by this more than others, I do not know but we are dealing with so little metal to fill both dies that it seems inevitable to happen.&nbsp;&nbsp; Your coin is a perfect example of what I avoid because I find the well struck ones hard enough to read without wondering what is under the void.&nbsp; That is not a highly professional attitude but I am not going to be a pro at Sasanian so I&#039;ll leave the challenges to younger eyes with sharper minds. </p><p><br /></p><p>Exactly why I bid on them!&nbsp; I&#039;m every bit as shallow as the relief on my coins.&nbsp; I have a feeling becoming an expert on these will take longer than one lifetime but I hope there are those working on the questions in any event.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
