Is it like one of those Jesus pictures that you see his face in a bowl of macaroni? Sorry OP, I simply do not see what you are talking about. Let's examine it though. Since the date is the wrong orientation, it could not be a flip over error. Wrong direction so it could not be a clashed die. So are you thinking it could be 4 dropped letters perfectly reoriented on the reverse then struck through?
Someone has a bad case of pareidolia... It happens to us all, OP; no worries... when it comes to coins though, think Occam's razor.
im not saying it is, but if you can see, on the bottom, since its fliped upside down, between the O and L seems to be a loop of a nine, and the tail of a nine curves into the first leaf, which ends just before the line of the leaf. sorry i dont know if that makes scence.
No... and because it isn't one. Perhaps consider this: take a look at your one photo above where you drew in the digits you think you see.... notice anything "funny" about the shape of your 9?
Like I said earlier, it's like seeing faces in the clouds, the old man of the mountain, or Jesus or maybe Muhammed staring back at you from your morning toast; essentially, your mind is making you see something that really isn't there. Certainly no harm in asking though...
To me I see the 1 and the curve of the 9, I personally don't see any signs of the four. I look at the number one to be the cause of an M.D. and a good chance that cause the nine tail. But unlike some others I have an imagination maybe that's why I can see some of what you can see.
Could you clarify exactly what you mean by "M.D." please? Most often on this forum it is used to mean "Machine Doubling", but I cannot see how that could possibly have caused whatever you think you're seeing.
Yes I would be happy to. I did mean machine doubling. You have your opinion, I have my opinion, and the OP has his opinion like all the other members on this form. And I'm sure Wexler would have his opinion. So less move on.
Oy vey.... I didn't question your "opinion", sir, but simply asked for clarification. Now that you mention it and needlessly bring Mr. Wexler into the discussion, perhaps you can explain, for the benefit of all, how/why you think "machine doubling" responsible.
