Message:: [QUOTE="Iyaesuyori, post: 415942, member: 15383"]Wow, I didn't even notice those but since you mentioned it I took a close look at the part you cropped. Those circular pits... I have read about them some in coin grading and counterfit detection by pcgs. I still have alot of studying to do...  the date blowup on the 9, that odd part you mentioned, I didn't pick up on that either but now I see what you refer to. I copied the picture and pasted it into paint. After that i used view => zoom => large size and behold... It does look image doctored. Also in this zoom blow up I noticed a pit about above the 9 about 11:00 position. The way the pit appears looks like a molten bubble burst and dried (casting or doctoring?).   A was thinking the whizzing was done by taking the rotary wire brush and using its 'rim' and starting from the inner surfaces and taking it to the denticles, where there seems to be uniform bright areas. Everywhere I examine in a blow up I see the lines terminating onto bright areas (where plain field meets raised features). Below is a portion of the blowup focusing on the 9, starting with the odd pit. Too bad paint wouldnt allow me to cover as much area because the odd line terminates at the rim as well GD speaks of. <img src="http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w70/Iyaesuyori/9.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
