<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 798941, member: 112&quot;]OK, this is gonna take a while and probably several posts. But let me make my case. Please don;t anybody reply until I am finished - I will say when I am finished. First the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>An example of what I think is damage and why I am sure it is damage. Examine the picture below. </p><p><br /></p><p>Up near the top at the denticles, You can see where the coins has been gouged in the denticles and the metal removed from the denticles has been scraped down across the coin and left deposited where the arrows point.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next is the G - you can see a large portion of the G and the metal in the center opening of the letter has been gouged out. The gouged out metal has again been retained and deposited just below the G. You can even see the raised portion of G that is missing from the letter on the piece of metal that has been scraped down and left below the rest of the letter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, if you look you can see that all of these scrape/gouge marks in the denticles, the hair, the fields and the G, run in exactly the same direction.</p><p><br /></p><p>And look at the denticles themselves, every single one very poorly shaped, no consistency at all, and all of them very, very rough. I believe this is due to poor workmanship and damage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
