[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 2598366, member: 78244"]I have no idea what you are talking about, and I am beginning to think you don't either. Since you have been incredibly unhelpful in pointing out these volcanos/pimples that are so obvious to you, I am guessing what you are calling pimples. I took a much closer look at the pictures and I think I see what you are mistaking to be pimples. If you look closely at the pictures, you will see that the coin is lit from the bottom. On these so-called pimples, if that is what they are, the light is reflecting in such a way that the coin would have to be lit from the top. However, this would be contradictory. So the obvious answer would be that the marks are incuse (aka hits) to be consistent with the lighting pattern. The chunk out of the A is caused by a hit that moved metal into the incuse outline of the letter.[/QUOTE]
