[QUOTE="expat, post: 4292569, member: 111067"]Really going to show my newbie ignorance now as an Englishman, living in Spain, looking at American coinage. Firstly the coin is clad, the two distinct metal types are crystal clear on the edge, but as it is sealed in a packet is not easy to photograph. Question 1: I have the possibly mistaken assumption that these were minted in San Francisco, so why does this one have a D mintmark? Question 2: Is it normal on this coin for the moon image to be mishapen (top left quadrant)? Question 3: Why is the near leg of the eagle thinner than the leg furthest away? I would have thought the other way as a painter i always have to get perspective right or at least pleasing to the eye, so this stuck out straight away. I am looking forward to some informative answers [ATTACH=full]1092663[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1092664[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1092667[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1092668[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
