<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tin_Man_0, post: 3576585, member: 100189&quot;]I think you&#039;re right. So I learnt something new on this one. This is a 3D world we live in and despite the fact that most coins have flat top or rounded top devices (that&#039;s the top of the whole letter, away from the field and towards you). A deep good impression will have filled the cavity of the die and you would actually get a sharp edge at the top of each of the letter. Which is why the optical illusion of splitting due to light reflecting off the two sides. It&#039;s kind of annoying that the so called &quot;proof&quot; coins don&#039;t display the same characteristics. In fact, looking at it closely, it even seems to lack serifs as well. Aren&#039;t proof coins stamped multiple times? What gives? They should have perfectly sharp edges of the triangular and trapezoid shapes that make the lettering with immaculate serifs.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]953678[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]953679[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]953680[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]953681[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. YES, The proof coin images are from a 1983 S Proof coin, same year as the business strike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
