Wrekkdd, it's all about asking questions that eliminate about half of the remaining coins.

Ancient coins are out of my comfort zone lol, there is sooooo many with sooooo many varieties. I also just assumed hammered coins could have a different diameter from one coin to the next(shows you what I know about coins this old:p

They do. Just as a worn coin will have a different weight
We go by what Numista says.

For hammered coins I thought the diameter could vary alot.

Can someone post a link on how hammered coins were manufactured? I just read a little but if you have a good link specific to the minting process for hammered coins thought time send it my way. I wouldn't mind a history lesson it's been a while
