<p>[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 3700218, member: 74863"]Well I can see most of what you're talking about. However it's impossible for that to happen at the Mint. You must take several factors into consideration. In this case it would be the surface of the coin, staining, dirt, fingerprints, circulation wear and tear, etc. This creates abnormal surfaces on the coin. Then what your eyes see and how your brain thinks come into play. Look up the word paredolia. We see things and we can't help but process what we see. </p><p><br /></p><p>Think of a coins surface as an ink blot test. We all see something but is it real?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
