The one on his neck looks as to be. Then there's the raised one under his neck on the initials and looks like the other kind on his eyebrow. This coin is also off center with bigger rim to the right and looks like doubling on letters.
The Rockwell test is not performed on coins - only on dies. Its purpose is to determine that the dies have reached sufficient hardness after heat treatment to endure the expected number of strikes of coinage without unacceptable degradation. Therefore, you should be looking for a shallow, almost perfectly round indentation in a flat surface of the coin. The test would not be performed on an inclined surface, as the test would yield invalid results.
What are you taking about. I just stated something . The information provided by the mod helped me with my coin and future.
Also wanted to say thank you for your insight. It really helps. Someone on here just told me I needed to step back and learn something.lol. that's exactly what I'm doing. The "They are performed on planchets too" was a statement I made in hopes you had some insight on that aspect. Thanks again. I don't get people using bully like tactic s towards others for questions that inspires debate in a good way might I add. I'm a new comer and have questions. How can that be taken the wrong way?
I do not place much stock in the claims of those who believe that hardness testing is conducted on planchets. The companies that manufacture the coil stock from which the planchets are blanked provide test results (better known as "certs") which identify, among other traits, the hardness of the coil stock at the request of the mint in order to eliminate the need for the mint to test the coil. This is done because testing the coil for hardness is something the mint is ill-prepared to do, and because the mint does not want to set up the coil for blanking operations, only to have to take it back down if the coil is too hard. There is only one foreseeable circumstance in which I can envision the mint performing a hardness test on a planchet. It might be done only if the mint was having quality problems, and suspected that the coil hardness was not that certified by the supplier, in which case the planchet would likely be grabbed from the feed hopper, taken to the lab for testing, and be kept for documentation of findings afterward.
