Message:: [QUOTE="Bobs Tavern Arm, post: 3586605, member: 104407"]In response to what I am referring to, Pete Apple said I should re-evaluate my Rockwell Test content in the 2000 AND SOMETHING message. So I did. This is a combination of some of the original Mike’s Diamond Arm, and Authenticating Silver Pennies (Ken Potter) posts. Pete Apple said what heard from the US Mint is that if the Mint did apply a Rockwell Test, they would have been on discarded struck dies. (Pete Apple, Fred Weinberg “Better 1956 Lincoln Cent struck with a defaced die pictures.”) So I looked to see if on any of the discarded 1959 reverse sets, there could be any evidence that pressure was applied. The obverse tilted hub separation at the immediate point by TRUST-T, by what seems a pressure, then the on the same coin... under CENT-T has a small break around it, insinuating more pressure.[ATTACH=full]957758[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]957760[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]957762[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]957763[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]957787[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]957788[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]957759[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]957791[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
