<p>[QUOTE="352sdeer, post: 3504761, member: 91351"][USER=112]@GDJMSP[/USER] I'm not so certain that [USER=31773]@rmpsrpms[/USER] really looked at your 18 Mercury dime you posted but that dime tells the whole story if one knows what their looking for. One problem is these flow lines are better seen in 3D and it’s something you can’t get with digital. One reason I don’t have a digital scope or view my coins with digital images. Much more detail can be observed with the eye through glass lenses. At 45x magnification looking at Lincolns, which display very similar flow lines to your pictured dime. I can see the way the metal flowed by how its laid down something missed with 2D images. I can see it on the dime but I know what I’m looking at from looking at Lincoln cents. All I collect are Lincoln cents so it’s what I’ve got but like I stated above a Lincoln cent presents very similar flow characteristics to the 18 Mercury dime.</p><p>Reed[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
