I thought it was amazing they could be so flattened and still retain design elements. Report this Post to the Staff

Dennman Valued Member Canada 496 Posts	Posted 02/17/2018 1:51 pm Having train-tracked many coins in my youth,I'd say these are not examples.Those are usually much flatter and oval shaped with very little details left. Due to the irregular edge on these,I'd say they are prime examples of the often mentioned act of putting them between two pieces of leather and beating them with a heavy hammer.
