<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 8233808, member: 99642&quot;]Hello, though I know that you are far more qualified and experienced to speak than I am, I still would keep my opinion of these two coins. </p><p>As you say, what I believe is &quot;....at times it&#039;s even true.&quot;</p><p>You go on to say &quot;...the effects you&#039;re talking about are rather commonly produced as a result or (of) normal circulation.&quot;&nbsp; ( &#039;of&#039; is my addition. I mistype all the time, which is why I proofread everything I type, but still miss things).</p><p><br /></p><p>So, &#039;rather commonly&quot;, but not exclusively, correct?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve read that thread before, and I just reread much of it, but it doesn&#039;t change my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>One reason is that circulation wear, alone, would not, in my opinion, wear away the toning so close to the devices, or so much in the fields. (Please refer to the thread you linked. Most of those are not &quot;worn&quot; like the 2 subject coins, especially the 1914.)</p><p>Look closely at the area below 1914 and to the right of the D.&nbsp; Do you really think that someone&#039;s fingers got in there and caused that wear?&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe.</p><p>However, it looks much more like a Q-Tip at work to me.</p><p>Would fingertips under &quot;normal circulation wear&quot; have caused the streakiness and the blotchiness in the fields, especially on the 1909?&nbsp; Maybe.&nbsp; I&#039;m not experienced enough, nor qualified enough, to state for a certainty anything about the two coins.</p><p>The good thing about that is that I can&#039;t be held responsible for anything.&nbsp;&nbsp; lol</p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate, though you remain far more qualified and experienced than I am, I will continue to keep my opinion.</p><p>After all, it&#039;s only an opinion, as was asked far.</p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
