nemlas Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 05/19/2018 4:29 pm Trying to get the optimizer to work right. In the meantime What is the difference between forged and cast? Report this Post to the Staff
Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 05/19/2018 4:51 pm Off of the internet: The definition of forging according to dictionary.com is "to form by heating and hammering; beat into shape". When a component is forged, a piece of metal is being moved or "beat into shape" while still in its solid form. In contrast, casting is defined as "to receive form in a mold". In layman's terms, molten or liquid metal is poured into a mold (either closed or open) and cooled to a solid state where it retains its shape. Report this Post to the Staff
nemlas Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 05/19/2018 4:58 pm Thank you. Makes sense a sword is forged and some things are cast or poured into a mold. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 05/19/2018 5:30 pm @nemlas, can you see a parting line along the edge? It is a little hard to tell from your pic.

nemlas Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 05/19/2018 5:57 pm Spence I can't. The rim is smooth. This coin might not fool those here but it is better looking in real life. Many when I tell them that it is not real say the VDB is off when it is actually dead on axis. I will get a reverse up soon. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/19/2018 7:33 pm This is probably one of the worst fakes of this coin that I've ever seen. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/20/2018 04:16 am Forged can also simply mean fake or faked as in "His signature was forged." So the statement "This is a forged coin." can mean that the coin is fake without any implication as to the method of how it was made.
