[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 4263994, member: 84744"]+1 More appropriate, for sure, but in principle, the OP coin could be a foil wrap. Here's an existence proof of foil wrap dating to 256 or later: [ATTACH=full]1086292[/ATTACH] Here's a heavily cleaned wash-style fourrée ant of Gordian: [ATTACH=full]1086300[/ATTACH] If the flan crack at 2:30 on the obverse doesn't expose any core, my bet is that [USER=19250]@Paddy54[/USER] is right and that it's lamination peel from improperly mixed metal. I'd be interested to hear what [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] thinks. Speak for yourself! Personally I pay more for fourrées that are unusual in some way. :D[/QUOTE]
