<p>[QUOTE=&quot;acanthite, post: 379942, member: 6647&quot;]Bumped the thread for those who are interested.&nbsp; I took my 1898 IHC to a well known expert in the field a few days ago.&nbsp; He said the pattern is uncommon, and that my example is rather extreme.&nbsp; It occurs due to excessive annealing of the planchet.&nbsp; He did not suggest that might be due to something post-mint.&nbsp; I looked through several hundred IHC&#039;s while at the show, and did run across a few more, but the pattern is difficult to see without using a 10x or greater magnifier.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
