Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 06/05/2018 12:17 am Looks fine to me. The Seleucids cast some of their flans into shape prior to striking, and the Jews mostly copied Seleucid minting methods. They just didn't bother to file off the casting sprue on this one. It's more common on the smaller denominations, but not unheard of in the larger. Report this Post to the Staff

Nevertheless, there also quite a lot of genuine examples to be found as well. I agree that this one is one of the nicer genuine examples. Report this Post to the Staff
