[QUOTE="jgenn, post: 2499585, member: 78525"]Examine the edge carefully. There should be two spots, directly opposite, where the design shows a slight overlap. Pictures of edge showing these two spots would be helpful. Those are not hairlines. They might be adjustment marks. If so it's from where the planchet was filed to reduce the weight to the correct amount. The broad section where the dentils have been flattened are of concern. Also some of the characters do not seem to be aligned properly (the U in VLTRAQUE and H in HISPAN).[/QUOTE]
