Is the field incusive?

Or not?

Ummmm what?

 

Is the glass half empty or half full?

 

I'm inconclusive of whether or not your field is incusive, but your photos seem rather elusive, so I'd say your thread is rather delusive. I'm not sure if I'm been confusive, but I hope I was at least amusive.

 

OMG the best comment I have ever read so good MADE MY YEAR lol

 

Great job, Tim!

 

Very good Tim.

Maybe you need to focus on being a poet?!? Either way that was very clever.

 

Would it be abusive to say that the praise is effusive?​

It was. And well received and liked to boot!

I knew I could get you guys goin'.

Now, to say what: Coins in general, not a particular coin at this time...picture any coin you like in your mind for this analysis. Is the field itself considered an icusive item, since it does push metal down and out of the way. As a frame of reference I think of it as being neutral, or zero elevation, but that might not be the true case in terms of 'average surface depth' . For example a coin with may devices will probably have an average surface elevation above the field, and vice versa. In the former case the field itself is technically an incusive detail, right?

Many incusive details appear on/in other larger raised details. Where do we draw that line?

There might be implications.

 

... and the band played on ...

 

You could say the field is incuse. the fields of the die is the highest part of the die and it is the first part of the die to make contact with the flat planchet and then the field is forced into the surface of the planchet. So it could be said that the devices of the coin are not so much "struck up" as the fields of the coin are pushed it. (In reality it is a little of both. As the fields compress the planchet the metal has to go somewhere so there probably is some rising up inside the details.)

 

The dies are domed or flat?

 

Very slightly convex (domed).

 

So then incusive doubled die might look like classic VD at the edge of field (devices) on the coin?

 

I would say yes until a person becomes experienced enough to instantly know the difference between a doubled die coin and MD . after you become more aquainted with error coins this becomes easier , just take it slow and learn as you go.

 

I have no idea what you are saying. I have no idea what an "incusive doubled die" would be, and when I see "classic VD" (A lot of which may come from the edge of a field.) I think of something you would treat with penicillin.

 

I know what you mean. If I notice a coin has "VD", I'm dropping it right where I stand and running to the nearest sink with soap.
