<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 2584777, member: 5233"]I would honestly disagree with this. Coins are not made to look perfect...they are made to be easily produced for circulation. This is why we have lower relief coins today and why dies are used until they are worn out. These coins are meant for use and need to be produced in large numbers. When dies start to show signs of wear...they are polished or otherwise refurbished to get as much life out of them as possible. I think what we have here is a coin that was produced from an older die that had been refurbished a bit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
