Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 05/19/2024 12:17 pm I, for one, don't like the look of all those surface bubbles as this suggests to me that it was cast (but it is hard to tell if they are only on the gunk). Is there a parting line around the edge?

Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 05/19/2024 8:15 pm I don't recall seeing an ancient coin with these specific design elements. I think it's a "Fantasy" - someone making something "ancient-looking" but without a specific reference for a specific coin they're trying to copy, since they made up the design completely themselves. 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
