The lines don&#039;t go over the tops of the letters or digits and they go right to the edges of the letters and digits. And the blackening has not been disturbed. These things are not possible had&nbsp; someone&nbsp; scrubbed the reverse of this medal. And why would they scrub the reverse and not the obverse?</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe they polished the planchets. And the reverse did not have enough design&nbsp; to pull the hairlines out. </p><p><br /></p><p>The hairlines are hideous looking. But I bet there is funny story here somewhere of someone or someones palming their foreheads when they realized polishing the planchets was probably a bad idea. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Does anyone else have this medal and is the reverse hairlined?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]789420[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]789421[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
