<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 461577, member: 2972&quot;]I believe Jack is referring to the high-points on the obverse that have less frostiness.&nbsp; That said, I&#039;m not necessarily convinced that a slide caused this (you don&#039;t find many proof gold pieces in holders with slides, frankly).&nbsp; Personally, I would guess that it is what&#039;s commonly called &quot;cabinet friction&quot;, but it could also be what Jack suggests, other types of mishandling, or just a lack of frost on the original die.&nbsp; I&#039;d want to see the coin in-hand to make a determination one way or the other, but I&#039;d say the odds are against the chance that an album slide cause the feature we are referring to.</p><p><br /></p><p>Respectfully submitted as MHO...&gt;Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
