[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 25827349, member: 105571"]OK, this is probably a nit and if so I'm sure I'll be called out on it. But I find this irritating and in the great American tradition of sharing all of our feelings, all of the time, here goes: This little half dime was recently slabbed by CACG. While photographing it and examining it under the 10X/30X stereo microscope, I noticed that the prongs on the obverse side at K12 and K4 had significant amounts of plastic flashing left on the prongs. This is leftover plastic from the injection molding process and it would normally cause the product to be rejected during QC either at the factory or, hopefully, within CACG's QC review. But it wasn't and here it is, unnecessarily obscuring part of the rims on what is already a small coin. I feel better already.
