Thanks. I find the more I offer information, the more chances I have to learn more. Oh, and don’t forget to click to expand the photos to full size!
[ATTACH] Actually there are quite a few interesting things going on with the steps and the field under the steps. Above, I have a blank planchet...
Here’s a similar coin to what I see in your photos. Note the weakness in the steps compared to the TrueView. I don’t think either of us are at...

The top left image is the after of the bottom right, and the bottom left is after the top right was cleaned. It’s a magical solution to be sure.
Seriously, didn’t I present empirical evidence based on actual measurements with a micrometer just a couple of posts ago? If we had measurements...
From eBay for $2.25, but shipping was $2.98. I won't regret spending the five bucks. Generally a mid-MS grade Brown 1937 Lincoln doesn't have...
I have to say I agree. A lot of this excellent discussion is now down to the tolerances of fit of the collar, the volume of metal in the upset...
