<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Get Real, post: 2520475, member: 81585&quot;]I reviewed the entire rim (both sides) under my scope and besides the usual contact marks (AKA PSD) the surfaces are level with the fields with no signs of tooling, grinding or sanding. I am familiar with most methods of removing, modifying or re-facing metals and they all leave evidence of the process used to do so, this one does not which is why I posted the question. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you notice the pictures I posted from the side, the rim and fields on the Obverse are level which means that the design features of Lincoln&#039;s bust, IGWT, LIBERTY and the Date are higher. It would be near about impossible to remove the rim without damaging or leaving signs on those details. Also note that the rim on the Reverse is at about half of the normal height in the SE quadrant while loosing height in both directions around to the NW which is about 1/4 to 1/3 normal.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not saying it is or it isn&#039;t PSD but this is not the first I&#039;ve seen similar to this and it would be nice to have a logical explanation for such an error or damage. Knowledge is power![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
