Byron, My other question is have you rung the casts? Do they ring? Did you do specific gravities on any of them? Roger

Actually I considered that, Roger, but concluded that the cast cooled
with the reverse down, filling in the details on the reverse better,
while the obverse bubbled somewhat as the metal cooled and shrank.
The detail is otherwise there and the obverse surface granularity and
lined appearance in the metal along the edge says cast to me.
Pictures don't show these details well, especially on a better made
cast, and would be much more apparent in an on-hands examination.
