<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CR Wallace, post: 3075849, member: 95091&quot;][ATTACH=full]773700[/ATTACH] I too would like to see the obverse, and I&#039;m probably alone on this (and may be wrong, but I&#039;ve been right many times when no one else agreed - that&#039;s the fun in errors) but am I the only one that feels this was struck through cloth? My reasoning being:</p><p><span style="color: #ff0000"><b>The areas where the portions of the letters are flat and NOT raised. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><b>These regions show metal flow and possible bunching if indeed struck through polishing cloth. Acid would not account for the metal flow between the M and A or the outlining around 1788.</b></span></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff"><b>Yes acid can erode nice and uniform, but this looks clearly like pattern to me, especially since ints rounded with the contour on the legs. These areas in blue are strong fabric pattern to me. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000">If the obverse is normal, I would take the risk and send it in for certification, or sell it to me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
