<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fallguy, post: 2927501, member: 84739&quot;]When I first looked at the area on the LH side of the Memorial, my first impression was a &quot;Struck Through&quot; foreign matter . . . and the problem I had with a &quot;filled die error&quot; (though technically also a &quot;Struck Through&quot;) is that the area would just be devoid of detail, though admittedly there does appear to be some detail missing. But the more I looked at it, I began to wonder if the area affected was raised, and if it were, then one would have to question either of those two explanations (though part of it could be a combination of either of those and something else). I think what I need to do is to make an overlay using the photo&#039;s and place it over an exemplar (normal coin of that date). That should at least tell us if the apparently &quot;lumpy&quot; areas correspond to places were details would be expected and therefore provide a possible explanation for why the area is raised, e.g. Clean Strike; introduction of foreign matter; Second Strike. I do realize that this may be perseveration gone overboard, but my wife says that I&#039;m OCD; maybe she&#039;s right<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>Semper Fidelis, Fallguy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
