[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2422822, member: 1892"][B]I'm[/B] not sure of it any longer, after hearing the alloy composition. Then again, handheld XRF isn't the "Holy Grail" of definitive accuracy. Do me a favor? Image the obverse nice and square, like you did the reverse. I overlaid a known 4A onto your reverse and it was exact, but the obverse image, having been shot at an angle, is distorted and spatial relationships won't line up correctly. If I force it back to round, they won't recover accurately either. This was a fundamental error in fretboard's analysis - macro images on an angle distort perspective and apparent feature size, and it's problematic to draw conclusions about features in a tilted pic as a result. He [I]still[/I] may be right, though. Just not necessarily for the reasons he thought. :)[/QUOTE]
