<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jimski, post: 2591530, member: 77373&quot;]I&#039;m not sure about the &quot;adjustment strike&quot; suggestion.&nbsp; Let&#039;s think about it a little more.&nbsp; I have a couple of thoughts about it. </p><p>1) NCG says the reeding can be absent.&nbsp; See the link to their site.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/1115/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/1115/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/1115/</a></p><p>2) If the coin was altered, why is there a thick raised metal band below Ike&#039;s head?See the attachment.&nbsp;&nbsp; The entire reverse shows this raised band.&nbsp; The altered coin theory does not account for this.&nbsp; The field at the rim should not be higher than that at the device.&nbsp; So If the coin has a raised surface at the rim, it would seem to me to prove the adjustment strike theory.</p><p>3) One more try for a weak strike.&nbsp; Is there a dimple in the center of the bell?&nbsp; See attachment.</p><p><br /></p><p>After all that, I just convinced myself that this is a adjustment strike.&nbsp; Look at your edge on view.&nbsp; You see raised metal all around the rim, and a concave field profile to the device.&nbsp; I say definitely not an altered coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
