[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 24673921, member: 92655"]I’m one that typically speaks positively towards people’s personal coin reviews. Forgive me if this sounds a bit harsh. Im not a dedicated error collector though I do own high quality examples of the 55 doubled die cent, 42/41 Merc among others….. I’m old and can no longer make out a mintmark without a loupe however I do not require magnification to enjoy my error coins which leads me at simply ask….. If that much magnification is required, what difference does it really make? These planchets are subjected incredible pressures when they are struck. Metal moves and flows. It is precisely the reason that the luster is different from one coin to the next. And think about this logically. What on earth could the US mint hope to accomplish by hiding an image within a 1/8” space? I see nothing other than the same flow lines that can be found every coins surface.[/QUOTE]
