<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 115476, member: 4552"]From what I've heard the enlargement of lettering may not be from recoating, but from the wearing out of the dies. Remember these are steel and not a soft copper material so that the dies wore out much faster. As they wear out the letters and numbers appear to grow. Regardless of whichever that coin is the price of those coins is to minimal to worry about what caused the shine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
