<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4416926, member: 19463&quot;]I believe it is a lot to expect very thin coins to have good portraits and good legends.&nbsp; That requires the dies to be perfectly flat or complement the curve of the other die.&nbsp; If both dies are cupped in the same way, either the portraits or legends will be weak.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m a fan of legends so both of my EI sixpence are weaker in the center.&nbsp;&nbsp; Unevenness is the standard. Note my 1571 is more worn but retains more profile while the 1593 is higher grade except for the fact the forhead is missing.&nbsp; Really nice coins of even this common type will sell for a considerable premium.&nbsp; The 1593 appears to have been bent and straightened.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1108284[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1108285[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
