@> Panzerman - You like a gold coin or two. (There may be one for you on "Everything is bigger in Texas" thread on 'World Coins'.)
Lucilla arrived and is seamless. No photos at present. Yesterday I had a huge row with the camera, packed it up and handed it to (entirely innocent husband) and informed him that he could stick it where the sun don't shine. I may take photos later, but have to eat a huge chunk of humble pie first.
Great news. I never doubted it. (When you get the camera back, remember, it is coins we want to see, not colons.) Lol.
When you look at it with the naked eye, there does seem to be something at certain edges, however, when you look under the scope there is no sign of anything and it looks perfect fine, no signs of filing etc. It is an optical illusion. I am glad it was pointed out though.
