<p>[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 2130867, member: 15019"]Siege coinage is generally crude, including this type, as they are put out in a hurry and under little or no quality control. I find this example interesting due to how extremely crude it is, even compared to what is generally seen for the siege coins of 1793. Aside from being misshapen, the edges have large caves. I am under the impression these coins were struck, but this one looks more like it's cast.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/Numismat/949A34C3-F724-4378-A8EF-5C418300F2CA.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/Numismat/C15062A2-78EB-4B69-992D-59F556A5BF62.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/Numismat/CFEE04D4-ADB6-4C4D-B490-CDBBF3BA5C34.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/Numismat/16B7C017-E348-4FE6-8A8F-8E057C7E6BF0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
