[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 4011579, member: 78244"]Thank you [USER=77814]@Clawcoins[/USER] ! That was exactly what we needed! Side-by-side edge shots: [ATTACH=full]1055417[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1055416[/ATTACH] It appears that the thickness is appropriate. You said the areas in blue appear to be sunken and you believe from the CoinFacts photo that they are supposed to be raised. [ATTACH=full]1055415[/ATTACH] Let’s analyze this photo. We know that the letters are raised on the surface. Since the bottoms are lit, we know that the coin is being lit from the bottom. This is substantiated by the reflections on the edges of the sun’s rays and the fields. Now lets look at the areas in question. If they are supposed to be raised, then we should expect to see a shadow on the far side with the near side being lit. However, we see the opposite, meaning that the areas are sunken with respect to the immediate surrounding areas. So yes, the only explanation is that you were not interpreting the pictures correctly. There could also be some PMD on the suspect coin. [ATTACH=full]1055418[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
