<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinhunk, post: 470018, member: 15747&quot;]Hi Frank. Thanks for that BUT I have to disagree 100%. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>1. There is no hole on the edge. The lower photo seems to show that but it&#039;s not. I just have to get a clearer picture. It is awfully hard to get a zoomed in photo of a small coin. What seems to be a hole is actually the reeding pushed slightly inwards by the tiny bump.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. The rim is not concave on that part. In fact the rim is consistently flat throughout the obverse. It just appears concave because of the &quot;arching&quot; of the bead pattern.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Is it possible to use a blowtorch on a 1 inch diameter coin with a fraction of a millimeter size bead pattern, and not damage the coin itself? Was just wondering.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. I bought this coin from a smelter and I guess the coin is no importance to him. Much less important to the person he got it from. I guess it is virtually impossible to have a &quot;trivial&quot; coin &quot;fixed&quot; or have a coin &quot;fixed&#039; then just throw it away for silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>5. Lastly, still couldn&#039;t explain how the bead turned up to be &quot;split&quot;. Throughout the circumference of the bead sequence no other bead&nbsp; appears &quot;split&quot; with wear. Just on that area.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just some thoughts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
