[QUOTE="Shake, post: 220486, member: 8699"]Howdy Guys, Thanks for the answers, even if they aren't the ones I was hoping for, lol. I don't get discouraged easily...If I did, I picked the wrong hobby, huh? I appreciate your encouragement Dak! Since I am a newbie, I need you to clear some things up for me: If all that grinding off of letters and stuff is post-mint damage why is the damage underneath the clad layer? Since it actually created indentations where it appears to be ground, that means it would have removed enough material to go through the clad layer, and then some. If it is post mint wouldn't the damage have to go through the clad layer, exposing the metal underneath? Also, what about the tight, swirling circular marks along the profile of his face? It's clearly done from a tool and not wear. and if it was done from a tool, and it is under the clad layer, wouldn't it HAVE to be from an overtooled die or something like that? Just trying to understand why you said what you said. Sorry about all the questions, but that is what answers sometimes do...create more questions, right? Thanks for the help and the education...[/QUOTE]
