<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2557163, member: 1892&quot;]Look also at 9:00 and 3:00 obverse, and the right side of the reverse. I&#039;m not seeing anything <i>major</i>, just maybe manifestations of imperfect die alignment, die wear and possibly the smallest of clips. I will say that the rim is the last place I expect a planchet flaw to be able to manifest itself, since so much of the die/collar design process is aimed at maximizing strike quality in those areas so the coins will stack. That makes rim anomalies all the more interesting. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I asked about the photographic technique is that it&#039;s quite possible to add/remove potentially-deceptive details via the cropping method - it only takes a couple of pixels&#039; depth (either added or subtracted) to make something seem different. And the higher the resolution of the initial image, the more easily one loses track of those couple pixels worth of irregularity. It&#039;s why I don&#039;t use the technique.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
