See the shadow cast by the plastic insert? That shows that the light is coming down from the top of the slab, with the coin below the level of the insert.</p><p><br /></p><p>Similarly, all the coin&#039;s design elements are brighter at the bottom, shadowed at the top, indicating that they too are <i>lower</i> than the fields -- but you&#039;ve got to mentally focus to see it that way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
