<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RBBDoughty, post: 2348713, member: 73447&quot;]Larry,</p><p><br /></p><p>I have to apologize on this thread; I was wrong. The legend within the shield is incuse; that is why the scratch appears to go under the letter. It is in fact a couple of hits going over the surface of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you know, my eye is trained for IHCs in particular. The incuse lettering used on the modern designs gives me that optical illusion. It does not help that the hits or scratches look EXACTLY as I&#039;d expect a die gouge to appear.</p><p><br /></p><p>Russ[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
