<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2346778, member: 19165&quot;]Sometimes, our brain is so focused on the familiar image, and the art of the coin, that we overlook the details. By flipping it upside down (which is easier to do in real life than a mirror image <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) we can trick our brain into looking at something unfamiliar. I do this all the time with my coins. When you flip it upside down, you are no longer looking at a familiar image and your brain is forced to re-evaluate what you are looking at. Try it - you may find that you notice different marks or features that were previously &quot;hidden&quot; in the coin&#039;s design. By looking at it at a different angle, your brain doesn&#039;t know what to make of this &quot;picture,&quot; and instead looks at what is actually in front of you. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes when I am trying to decide if I like a coin, or looking for problems with it, I&#039;ll flip it upside down and look only at the piece of metal, not the artwork in front of me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
