Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2354592, member: 112"]For whatever it's worth, I agree with you - altered surfaces. Can I explain why ? Yeah sure that's easy, because it doesn't look right. And for those (not you CZ) who would claim - that's no explanation - it absolutely is ! That's what experience does for you. Experience gives you the ability to look at a coin and know at a glance that there is a problem. And it doesn't matter what the problem is, the only thing that matters is that the problem exists. With trained eyes, experienced eyes, you will see that at a glance. It's kind of like grading coins. Some might study a coin for 10-15 minutes, or longer, and only then come up with a grade. But one with the proper experience can look at a coin for 4-5 seconds and give you the correct grade.[/QUOTE]
