<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robec, post: 1813419, member: 19094&quot;]I seriously doubt the 1916 pictured suffered from misaligned dies. The photo is of a graded coin taken while in the slab. The gasket covering the coin obscures parts of the rim.......and not evenly. I would be willing to bet if a TrueView of this coin exists the rims would appear uniform all the way around.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also the light is stronger on one side and when this happens one side of the rim will show more area than the opposing side. The coin could also be uneven in the slab which would make one side more visible. You don&#039;t get the 3D effect with photos as you when you hold the slab in front of your eyes.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an example, here is my 1916 photo compared to its TrueView. My photo cropped out most of the gasket leaving a smaller rim..........not a misaligned die.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/MPL/1916PR67BNCAC.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://www.robecsimages.com/photos/MPL/1916PR67BNtv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
