[QUOTE="kanga, post: 4867769, member: 9270"]Update and Something Extra The Update: I looked closely (9x loupe) and the "light foggy area on the center of the reverse" is definitely NOT on the coin BUT definitely NOT on the inside of the slab. It's on the outside (thank you, thank you, thank you :D ). I got out my Novis polishing material and with only a slight application of elbow grease I removed the problem area. Now the "Something Extra". One of the PUP's for this variety are the [U]die engraver's guide lines[/U] he used to get features neatly on the die. Notice the one in front of the bottom of the "O" and the two after the top and bottom of the "F". I've never seen that before and suspect that it would be a feature only on early coins. The only other thing I know of that's sort of close to this is centering dots on a lot of early coins. [IMG]http://www.dcderoo.com/1hf-1809-GenVF-r-guidelines.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
