Of course Macedon Kassander they are patterned after but why did anyone make such things with intentional edges like that? So strange.. Were they prototypes and not finished making the fakes?

louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1303 Posts	Posted 10/19/2021 1:48 pm OK I posted that too quickly. One of them as an edge and it looks filed away. And the other is all filed away. So what is going on with these? Edited by louisvillekyshop 10/19/2021 1:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

I can say that, though they seem to be the same coin type, they aren't die-matches, which would seem to be a point in their favour.
