Vinsanity Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 01/10/2008 10:11 pm Im bidding on this. I thought it was cool how the cross part was perfectly cut out. Think someone cut it or it just happened naturally? Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16861 Posts	Posted 01/11/2008 08:34 am I don't think the missing bits were deliberately cut away. I'd assume the coin was holed, either in two separate spots or at two different times, and the holes have torn away the metal where it was thinnest. 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
hussulo Valued Member United Kingdom 91 Posts	Posted 02/07/2008 2:30 pm I belive it could have been due to a bad mix of silver and possibly stress fractures during the hammering process. These fractures then could lead to parts of the coin braking away. The part of the cross has remained as it is thick and a stronger part of the design. Not to uncommon an occurrence.
