<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tpsadler, post: 2321067, member: 9860&quot;]Thanks for allowing me time to think about your statement.&nbsp; First I do agree with the Copper Color of the being the result of Copper being mixed with gold and leaving this deposit.&nbsp; My next area of consideration is the area of what appears to me to be the numerous diagonal lines show also in the secondary fields between the Characters. By your definition Striations would be layered together and equally spaced showing those multitude of lines in those secondary areas.&nbsp; My understanding of Striations is when a planchet is formed (mixed) with impurities in this case, gold and copper I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around how these lines were made without some device like a roller forming these lines in the devices and secondary areas (Post Strike ).&nbsp; Or as you say these lines are created when the die was struck because of the impurities of a of the Striation IMO in a mix this would be impossible..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
