<p>[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 4604116, member: 74863"]You've sure peaked my interest. You are correct in what you have pointed out. NGC stores that the designer/engraver is Gilroy Roberts, which is partly correct, if that. Roberts designed the obverse and he was the chief engraver of the Miht from 1948-1964. In February 1965 Frank Gasparro became the chief engraver and he designed the reverse. Their initials and on the neck and to the right of the Eagles tail feathers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since the weight difference is 2 full grams I must agree that the planchet was rolled thin. If the outer silver layer was missing would it weight 2 grams? Is the lighting true? We all know what lighting does to coin photos. Jeff would be correct if the lighting was the same but 2 grams of silver to change the color?</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it possible that the NGC label is just plain wrong?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
