<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 659030, member: 1242&quot;]First, there is a sort of slightly incuse ring showing in the areas that you noted which extends inward from the rim about 1 mm or a little over 1 mm. This appears to be the result of Die Distortion either from deterioration of the Die or from the annealing process. Due to the distortion, the Lettering on the Dies became distorted and weak and show as weakness near or along the ring on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>You should send the other coins to Coneca for examination to see if in fact they were improperly annealed.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
