[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 7528720, member: 13307"]No worries - the coin is what it is (and I don't take it personally if you see something that catches your eye). So, I'm admittedly not an expert at distinguishing planchet flaws with minor contact marks. I thought maybe I could take a couple closeups of the eagle and see if it shows enough for you to tell. Personally, with a 10x loupe none of them look like hits - but that's just me "doing my best."
