Shame it is in such poor condition. Your is much better. Also, looking at your coin, it seems mine is quite of centered. is this so or it got si deformed over time? Report this Post to the Staff

hidden Valued Member Serbia (Srbija) 58 Posts	Posted 05/18/2010 5:43 pm I know they are struck by hand, it is just that I thought the people who stuck them where really precise. Obviously, making ancient coins was much harder than I thought it was :). Report this Post to the Staff
