<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2338564, member: 42773&quot;]My theory is that coins were cast in the ancient world where there was an absence of die engravers. I would imagine it&#039;s easier to cast coins that to strike them from dies. All you need are two hubs to press into the plaster and you can make as many impressions as you want without wearing out the hubs. The hubs don&#039;t even have to be carved from metal - wood would suffice for making impressions in semi-hardened plaster. So, lack of proper technology?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
