<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 223770, member: 6036&quot;]Now THAT&#039;S an interesting idea. Maybe they are. But I have a few random questions:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1) Did they do adjustment filing on coins this late (1855) ? I thought that was only earlier history.</p><p>2) Why would anyone do adjustments on such a tiny piece ? It seems the time is more valuable than what one would get from such small planchets.</p><p>3) Adjustment marks typically have many <b>parallel</b> scratches from the file&#039;s teeth. The <b>reverse</b> scratches seem more like a &quot;<b>starburst</b>&quot; pattern. </p><p>4) The scratches on the <b>obverse</b> are parallel, but seem too shallow to be adjustment marks... the point was to remove metal, after all...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyone ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
