    Most of you do not examine coins this closely (40X) but take a guess. Experts, please let others go first!

    It looks like pretty harsh die polishing to me. I don't see any marks across the devices and the marks stop abruptly at the edges of the devices. They also appear to be raised above the surface of the fields, meaning they would be incuse on the die.

    Not fair when you don’t show the whole coin

    I consider you to be an "expert." Please give the others a chance. ;)

    1. I :troll: hardly ever post an entire coin unless it is necessary to correctly answer the quiz.
    2. I :troll: don't believe in fairness.

    I find Mr. Insider very knowledgeable and I think he’s a good guy to have on CT. Always testing our knowledge as well.

    I guess no one fell for my suggestion that the coin was a counterfeit. :(

    On the contrary, there have been six votes for "counterfeit tool marks".

    Hey Skip, I think your statement went a bit further than “suggesting” the coin is not real.

    Someone scrubbed some debris off that die. Probably with a wire brush
