<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2527180, member: 1892"]Contemplate the direction of the lighting against the "jamming" we're discussing. The coin is lit from about 9:30 or 10:00 - a little above "directly to the left." These features are reflecting from the side <b>away</b> from that light, meaning they're depressions on the coin. If they projected from the surface of the coin, the side of these V-shaped impressions <i>closest to the light</i> would be what's reflecting it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If they're negatives on the coin, they would have to be <b>positives on the die</b>. Something would have had to <b>add metal to the die</b> in order to achieve this. To me, there's not much chance the coin was struck this way; I can't think of a scenario which would create this on a die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
