<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 3590106, member: 26302&quot;]Btw OP, I kept looking for damage on Liberty&#039;s face. I think you are talking about the damage on her waist and leg. If &quot;face&quot; you meant the side of the coin, we call that the obverse. Clarity of terms helps. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The other side we call the reverse. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you are interested, the obverse of the coin is defined by the side that the die does not move, and the reverse is the side struck by the moving die. MOST of the time the portrait is on the obverse, but not always. I have many ancient coins where the portrait is on the reverse die, so saying &quot;face&quot; does not help us know which side you are talking about, (especially on coins with portraits on both sides, or no portrait on either side).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
