<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 2630853, member: 77413&quot;]Excellent points. </p><p><br /></p><p>I knew I was off base on the &quot;taking home&quot; part. If nothing else the coin is obviously circulated, so it reached its intended destination.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have also been wondering if some of the damage has just worn off. If you use the coin enough to wear down the bust you have to wear the other raised elements, like the stars. Just because they are smooth now is no guarantee that they always were.</p><p><br /></p><p>The tricky element for me is still the mark between the strand of hair and the ribbon. It&#039;s hard to get down in there after the coin is struck. But if you damage the die or strike through fabric then that&#039;s a high point and easy to mark.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
