[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3143530, member: 112"]No I'm not trying to be provocative at all Kurt. And how are you to process that ? How about the same way I did, put one in your pocket, carry it for several years and find out for yourself ! As for the picture, I took it out of my pocket and laid it on a piece of white cardboard on the table and took the pic with my Nikon. No muss no fuss, it's just a picture. It's the same picture I've posted a great many times, and for a lot longer than 3 or 4 years. It's also a coin that several forum members have seen first hand, and more than once. And some of them even saw its predecessors, the other AGE's I carried in my pocket, each one for several years. And some of them have even seen me spend those coins at coin shows when I would run out of cash. And then as soon as I got home from the coin show, I'd go out and buy another one to replace the one I spent. All in all I carried an AGE in my pocket for close on to 20 years, this particular one lasted the longest - 7 years. The others, 2, 3, 4 years each. The wear patterns were always the same and never changed except by degree per time frame.
