<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ratio411, post: 1212139, member: 26729&quot;]I am no expert like you guys, however I have been watching very interested in the discussion.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a casual onlooker, I was drawn to the fact that the coin in question has beads, but then 2 spots had denticals, which are 2 different animals. I was under the impression that the coin was real, but maybe the denticals were added during some sort of repair or conservation effort. I figured the denticals would be easier to &#039;add&#039; in a repair than the beads.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, after looking at this example posted, I realized that the &#039;deformed&#039; beads in the same locations might just take on the appearance of denticals after circulation wear and/or environmental damage that the coin in question was exposed to.</p><p><br /></p><p>Close examination of the sample coin shows the beads in the same exact location are elongated and appear something between beads and denticals.</p><p><img src="http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/S-5IIMS61.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
