<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 346249, member: 4367&quot;]Leadfoot and DJ, inorder to (attempt) rest your concerns <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> about the areas where weakness is shown one has to take into consideration that the CBH is a very thick coin (in places) and the areas which are weak on one side appear to be struck-up on the other side.&nbsp; Typically weakness in the banner is equated to the high spot bust and clasp on the obverse.&nbsp; The 50 is directly across from the thick (high) cap Miss Liberty has upon her head.&nbsp; Simply the result of metal flow when struck or lack thereof.&nbsp; CBH stars vary greatly one side may be sharp and the other side flat, this is due simply to the die used for the particular marriage.</p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;hammered&quot; strike characteristics I&#039;m referring to are the superb rims obv &amp; rev.&nbsp; What is in between can either be attributed to #1. Wear, #2. Coin Thickness, or #3. Particular Die Characteristics.&nbsp; Often all three at the same time.&nbsp; This is a good looking AU coin IMHO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rest easy, it&#039;s a nice coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
