Pansa coin question
question about this coin
I notice crescent shaped marks on some coins lately
is this from banks marking the coin?
and why?
also is this speckles environmental or casting?

Re: Pansa coin question
I have to admit, my first thought was cast coin. But, this coin has a crack running through both sides of the coin and that cannot usually be captured by casting.
So, I am calling this one's pitting to be environmental damage.
Bank marks were used to indicate the coin had been verified to weigh correctly and had not been shaved. (A means of stealing some of the precious metal.)
We call them bank marks, but they were likely made by merchants who traveled from city to city. Common customers could identify the mark as a guarantee.

Re: Pansa coin question
thanks mhonzell. I noticed the cracks too but the image s on both sides seem kinda light impressions and i thought the speckles were casting.
i am posting pics of the edge, please tell me what you think. i dont see any casting lines, do you?

Re: Pansa coin question
thank you. I noticed some of my coins are thinner on 1 side and thicker on another. Does this proof authenticity? or can this mean it it could be a hammered fake?

Re: Pansa coin question
Which Pansa is this? Is this the one who defeated Mark Antony at the Battle of Mutina?
or the relative of his who lives 60 years earlier?

Re: Pansa coin question
Yeah, my bad. I was looking all over the thread (I thought) for the mention of PENSA. Images, replies, comments, etc.RomanGreekCoins wrote: ↑Mon Apr 16, 2018 11:37 am thanks Mark

And there it was in the title all along. :dunno
My replies like this help me keep a firm grip on the lower rungs of the novice ladder. lol:
