<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 4612096, member: 26302"]Agreed. Adjustment marks will be parallel to each other. Coins of Amisos under Mithradates IV were HORRIBLY adjusted for some reason, (especially copper for some unfathomable reason), with the marks being much deeper than these.</p><p><br /></p><p>Besides being parallel, remember the adjustments were made before striking, so they should flow into the design from field but be changed by the metal moving into the design.
