<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Delmer, post: 206508, member: 8219&quot;]I was talking about the edge-letter impressions commonly seen, not your initials, but my point to you was that this can be faked just like the edge-shadow lettering.. so although yours is totally natural, soon others won&#039;t be able to trust anyone with that type of flaw.&nbsp; Its a cool find nonetheless.&nbsp; Did you say your artists initials were RAISED and BACKWARD?&nbsp; That&#039;s Great!</p><p><br /></p><p>You nailed the acid test for the rim shadow letters though.. If it&#039;s not a T, a upside-down D, a O, W, M, etc.. you can be SURE it is not the result of rim-contact against another coin using pressure... if it is NOT BACKWARDS!&nbsp; I don&#039;t know the answer to &#039;raised or incused&#039; but with the shadow letters on the rim, they will LOOK raised, but in fact the surrounding metal is depressed, and the letter is as high as the rim at best.&nbsp; Find a R or a N or a P that is not backwards in ANY picture or auction.. </p><p><br /></p><p>If yours is raised then that&#039;s totally different than the potential faking I&#039;m talking about.. you can&#039;t fake raised letters unless you&#039;re in Japanese maphia I guess. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
