Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 08/26/2021 4:21 pm Yes that is a reproduction coin--likely for adornment or feng shui purposes. The dimples are there to simulate a cast surface. Here is a link to a similar one that was posted to CCF about a week ago: http://goccf.com/t/406087 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 08/26/2021 6:39 pm Yep, it's another machine-struck replica, with the dimpling intended to simulate a sandy cast background. You can buy them for a few cents each. Which is a shame, as you can buy genuine coins in bulk for only a few cents extra. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
