<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael H Webb, post: 3213567, member: 93313&quot;]Evidence nonetheless is provided by the contour of the genuine coin which is not exactly flat. With high resolution photographs, we can directly see the coin&#039;s contours or evidence of those contours.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a fragment of an image from a Mexico 1993-Mo Huehueteotl N$5. Note that the curvature of the proof surface is shown brightly underneath the &quot;Huehueteotl&quot; inscription and to right of the surface below the rim underneath the &quot;N$5&quot; denomination:</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/lWqlmXT.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>The following example isn&#039;t quite as high resolution as the first, however, we see evidence of the curvature in the reflection of the rim off of the polycarbonate holder. Note that the reflection follows a perfect circle until distorted by the &quot;1968:&quot;</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/ixxezhQ.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>If the replica coin is produced from a polished mold, as I suspect, then such edges would be sharp, not as gradual the ones shown which allow the flow of metal around the features of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
