As in, the interior of the glyph, the part in field finish, is incuse and below field level? If that be the case, then, I will be completely wrong here and all we have to do is determine the mechanism of the damage. I got someone to study. That's worth the damage to my reputation.

IMO if the glyph were some how altered, the care required to deepen the grooves in a fashion so true to the original lines clashes with the overall condition of the coin.

It may well be that they feel it desecration to put it on a coin. Report this Post to the Staff

It's so obvious as to go without saying, except most of the posters said it anyway just in case. The only argument has been how deliberate it was. Report this Post to the Staff
