<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2682073, member: 74282&quot;]I have seen big Ptolemaic bronzes with what at first glance appeared to be a seem on the edge. I know the coin was authentic however, because I saw it before it was cleaned and completely covered in encrustations and barely even recognizable as a Ptolemaic bronze. I believe these come from the flan preparation process.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, it is also possible that it is evidence of casting or being an electrotype.
