<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 676096, member: 7638&quot;]The photos posted are excellent. Looking at the reverse, I see what looks like a small raised border of metal around some of the letters and devices. When I see that, I have to at least entertain the idea of some surface manipulation, such as whizzing. I can see what appear to be some short, parallel lines in the field near the eagles&#039; left wing, at the top- my right. </p><p>can you tell if the luster in the fields looks like radial flow lines under magnification? Can you detect if the raised metal outlining some of the devices looks heaped up? I am just speculating here and may be completely wrong, but I am somewhat troubled by what I see in the images. Raised bumps from die rust, in my limited experience, are usually sort of random in the fields, and don&#039;t congregate around the edge of the devices and letters. I&#039;m sure someone with more experience and savvy will be along presently with a better explanation for what I am seeing.&nbsp; Again, not having the coin in front of me, I can only offer these observations, so please consider my comments tentative at best.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
