I could see why you'd say that, but the fact that these are *perfectly* parallel across the entire face of the coin leads me to believe otherwise....
Because someone paid them to?
This top coin is graded PCGS AU-58, and it is actually overgraded. But it shows you better where the wear points are. As you get to lower grades,...
The high point wear is distinguished by the slight color change. A weak strike would have continuous and uninterrupted luster across the high...
You can see the wear on the curls of her hair, the top of her cap, and on her breasts. These are all high points on the coin. It appears as slight...
Unfortunately, people want to seem nice. I get it, Russell posts a coin they are very happy to get. People want to seem nice and they want...
