But posting it anyway... 12 mm, 2.25 grams. As already mentioned above, this is probably either the same type as the previous, or very similar. Dunno why I bought both, to be honest. But they're nice anyway. [EDIT: title changed after checking Zeno.] [EDIT 2: title changed again.] Edited by january1may 02/04/2020 06:56 am Report this Post to the Staff

I see what you're saying, but I'm not sure to what extent it's deliberate and not just an artifact of the flan cutoff (or even possibly outright flaking in the upper area - it looks as if the metal is made of multiple layers). And I still can't seem to find any coins of anywhere near the right size with anything like that style of fire altar... Report this Post to the Staff
