Nice Vickies . I'd think with the Florin the giveaway is no luster in any of the protected areas .
I say no , as I've never seen a clash on a proof , but a beautiful coin . Is she yours Paddy ?
Good questions , but I imagine some type of sulfur gas in an enclosed area .
The bottom of the letters in America look off but that could be the pics .
The 1 looks off , but if you're spending this kind of money I'd buy slabbed or from someone I really trusted like Harlan Berks .
Looks good to me , at least without checking the die marriages . Though the color looks off . [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
I'm with Chris with this as no one has removed fingerprints without removing the luster of the coin as the acid from ones skin does etch them in...
That's one of the reasons I actively collect them now . Open collared coins just are a different animal and I love elongated stars and letters .
When the die wears in an open collar the movement of metal wears down the dies and gradually the stars and other devices move towards the rim ....
How about a reverse pic ?
Doug are you talking about those lines that go every which way as that's what I see now .
Separate names with a comma.
