[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 8249550, member: 105098"]the obverse is done just like the walking liberty 50 cent coin for they type 2 silver eagles, it's why they added AAW initials on it, they retro'd the obverse to be the original design instead of the modified design that was used on the type 1 silver eagles. It's not that it was stuck with rusty dies, the contrast between the lower detail of the obverse with the high details of the reverse that give you that impression, unless of course you saw one that was really pitted that is. I haven't seen one like that. theres' less detail on the obverse of the type 2 than on the obverse of the type 1 and it's intentional as part of the design. I think also possibly they did it to throw off counterfeiters because it's two totally different methods of die making to produce each side of it, old school obverse and new school reverse.[/QUOTE]
