[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 2947907, member: 24633"]John, you're trying too hard to find something wrong.

No, you're not crazy, but you have to realize that there are trillions of coins in circulation, and there are millions and millions of ways that the surfaces of the coins can be affected in everyday commerce. I wish that I had saved the image of a Lincoln cent taken many years ago where the owner of the coin swore up and down that he could see an image of the "Shroud of Turin" in the obverse field.
