<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bedford, post: 1633107, member: 4917&quot;]While no longer a collector of the series it was my main focus from 2006-2010 . Many examples do not show denticles &amp; it is not a requirement for a coin to grade AU (not saying the OP&#039;s posted coin is or is not AU) . Strength of denticles (milling) falls under the same line as weakness in the motto on reverse ribbons. Usually the culprit is lack of metal flowing into said areas . This is caused from irregular planchet thickness &amp; while that sounds odd ,a few tenths or hundreths of a millimeter of missing or unproportioned metal can &amp; will cause this effect in non collared screw press minted coins.</p><p>What is important on the above posted coin is the denticle at 12 o&#039;clock. It is wide &amp; open to the rim .That among many other PUPS is a die marker for this variety.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
