<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 543107, member: 4920&quot;]Well, I&#039;ll certainly keep that in mind. But I&#039;ve seen that streaking, before, and sometimes it&#039;s off-color, or even faintly-toned, as in this case. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d like to move onto one other thing. If you&#039;ll look at the middle of the building on the coin you posted, I don&#039;t necessarily see a weak strike, there, but rather a terrible die-state. I of course see my die-state as deteriorated, too, however, as much better, there, as is evidenced by the resulting strike, which is crisper in detail. But, just look at the dome on the coin you posted, and at those dome windows, and I think you&#039;ll agree, that thing was struck just fine. I believe mine also has some strike or deterioration doubling in MONTICELLO, which the coin you posted doesn&#039;t have. Bottom-line, the coin you posted just never had a chance at a crisper building-strike from the get-go, that die was just too shot in that area (middle of the building). But, that&#039;s how I see the difference in the detail between these two, just a difference in the die-states. In the coin you posted, the areas that look like a weak strike are just a shot die (poor little thing didn&#039;t have a prayer, there <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
