<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 131804, member: 4626&quot;]Well figured out how to do close-ups, lol, just raise the resolution, then use Paint to crop and enlage details.&nbsp; Here&#039;s some close-ups, of the date, the denomination, and a scan of the reverse that I think may show a trace of the denticles, though very heavily worn:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cointalk.org/gallery/files/4/6/2/6/1835CU.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cointalk.org/gallery/files/4/6/2/6/1835CUrev.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cointalk.org/gallery/files/4/6/2/6/1835CUrev2.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This also shows the wear pattern is a lot more on the edge than on the center.&nbsp; Possibly this has been in various collections for long periods of time and got a lot of handling on its edges but people were careful not to touch the center?&nbsp; Or maybe it was handled by the edges over a long period of time?&nbsp; Looking at close ups I can see a lot of the dents and scratches, my guess is it suffered a lot of abuse before someone decided to set it aside to prevent further damage.&nbsp; Still it has a lot of character... the remaining detail is very nice... and minus the damage this coin probably would have cost at least twice as much, lol.&nbsp; The edge error is pretty interesting too... will see if I can get close up of that.&nbsp; Anyone know how the lettered edge was put on these coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
