<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clawcoins, post: 3732382, member: 77814&quot;]For any coins with &quot;blobs&quot; on them you have to ask</p><p>(a) with the harden metal die(s) ... did the die shape shift to something else to make that anomaly?</p><p>Or maybe something happened to the coin afterwards where metal was moved beyond the die&#039;s design (up, sideways, etc) to create that blob.</p><p>(b) is there anything, any thing at all on the coin where the detail of the original strike from the die is not 100%?&nbsp; if so, why?</p><p>(c) did anything else change that &quot;blob&quot; after it was created, such as circulation wear, or anything else.</p><p>(d) what is, or is not, the correlation to everything that is seen on a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>for instance, earlier I mentioned the reverse. But it was ignored as it would just complicate the discussion.&nbsp; But here it is again.&nbsp; What caused this surface deformation on the wing, which I think is opposite your blob on Washington ?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1000774[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>On the OBVERSE</p><p>(a) ignoring the BLOB, what has caused the surface irregularities?</p><p>Why is the coin surface not PERFECT ?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1000775[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>and more specifically, what cause this indented damage marked in red</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1000776[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>any time you INDENT metal, you PUSH metal and it goes somewhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>This image shows the damage even worse than the other images</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1000777[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Also looking at the reverse and obverse when you add heat you&#039;ll get an expansion ....</p><p><br /></p><p>you yourself can experiment this yourself.</p><p>grab a bunch of quarters, and a torch and experiment with various lengths of time to the torch.&nbsp; Or if you prefer a campfire/bbq scenario.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a coin is acid etched, it has lost metal (and weight)</p><p>if a coin is pitted, it has lost metal (and weight)</p><p>if a coin has circulation wear, it has lost metal (and weight)</p><p><br /></p><p>so in short, the coin has gone through <i><u><b>multiple methods of damage</b></u></i> to lose weight, and to get the &quot;blob&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
