I have come across many in circulation, and it was so obvious when I had the coin in hand that I new right away it was glue ,to be honest with you a novice could even distingush the differance on a coin not to be disrespectful to you ,and I still don't see how glue could be that deceptive in the photos usually there will be a white apearance on the fields somewhere to indicate this. (There's more to this story)

I was not attempting deception but rather seeking explanation.

Perhaps after your eyes, when they pass the 60 year mark as mine have, you will understand. I tried to be kind to the coin in the beginning but only after I got harsh did I (we) figure it out.

Being born stoopid is something I'm trying to outgrow which is why I ask questions here.

Oh, and don't solder 25 micron platinum wires to stainless steel braided wire for a living while looking through a microscope or have welding sculptures as a hobby as I have done, if you expect to always see what is obvious to others forever.

You may notice I use a large font here quite often. It gives me a chance to read what I've done wrong with fewer mistakes on my part as I attempt to outgrow my novice apprenticeship.

Didn't Beethoven end up going deaf? So what's wrong with trying to be a semi~blind coin collector?
