IBGolden Pillar of the Community Canada 598 Posts	Posted 10/17/2009 6:59 pm I think it's when a copy from a mold of each side of a coin is made...and the two halves are joined together often revealing an edge seam. edit >>> A quick and somewhat simplified(but accurate enough... I 'spose) definition from google... Quote: A duplicate coin created by the electrolytic method, where metal is deposited into a mold made from the original. The obverse and reverse metal shells are then filled with metal and fused together. Edited by IBGolden 10/17/2009 7:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

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
