coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/01/2019 1:35 pm Looks more like it was placed between two pieces of leather and then hammer and it flattened the devices. The more they beat on it, the larger the coin will become. If placed in a vise and tightened even more, the coin gets a lot wider. Report this Post to the Staff

smoke1439 Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 01/01/2019 1:44 pm So hammering the coin or placing in a vice wouldn't change the diameter of the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
smoke1439 Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 01/01/2019 1:45 pm The diameter is spot on. Report this Post to the Staff
