thats because private purchase rings are die pressed. I own a few period working dies. Have seen many others..

IF the HR was cast why does the big 'die flaw' remain on the Sig runen? Why wouldn't it be quickly repaired in the next batch of cast rings... We are missing something all of us.


Have you heard of a 'Pressed Penny'? It is a tourist type of trinket... Anyone here hear of them or have had one?
