I rode to the bank with a co-worker once and watched the teller hand him a counterfiet 20. We pulled away and he counted his money... I noticed...
I think you're correct. I googled and filled strikes, while they can affect the entire face, are not as drastic looking. Here is a capped die...

Before I knew better, I stored some very nice 'blast' white coins in a manner that caused them to tone drastically. Since I didn't do anything...
kanga: That is what I did for the post-64 coins. Even then though, it's really hard to find some year sets in good shape. So it's not so simple. I...
I guess I should be happy... The Jeffs I do have are GORGEOUS! They are not graded mind you, just mounted nice and neat in my Dansco. I lucked up...
