Martin, While that sounds like inconsistency, I really don't think that it is. My guess is that the coins you cracked out for resubmission were...
I don't think that the areas in question are consistent with counting wheel damage. However, I know very little about the subject and have never...
I don't know what you guys are seeing, it looks like die polish to me.
