The big images help a lot. I see some mint made polish lines, mainly adjacent to the large devices, and a lot of post mint "scritchiness" in the...
You can put together a nice set of most dates in vf for around what you are proposing. that's what I have been doing and lack the 1815 of course...
my opinion, it's a myriad of tiny contact marks on semi prooflike surfaces which tends to accentuate the marks under photo lighting. Bill's...
