Message:: [QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1404258, member: 31533"]I don't think that a switch is a possibility. Here are both obv and rev of the one I sent in and next to the one they sent back. I am looking at the spots on the coin that I id'd that I was hoping the conserving would improve, but it looks like even if dipping the coin caused the spots to run, they can't have run in the way they did. So I have no clue as to what was done to the coin to make it that way. There is nothing on the obverse near Trust that would do that, IMO. Both sides do show they are the same coin, IMO. Look at the spot on Lincoln's shoulder and the two nicks that are on mine: at the collar (horizontally) and to the right of Lincoln's suit (diagonally). Also on the reverse, it is apparent the way the spots on the AMER, especially between the A and M the way the spot curves, do remain the same. There is also a spot between the N and T in Cent, which is the same. So the conclusion is that they have significantly changed the appearance of this coin, in a manner that is unacceptable. They have created spots that come from nowhere and run and drip in horrid ways, and have taken away much of the "red" surface and made it "brown". I sent an email via their Contact Us area on the site, indicating I would be contacting them via phone, as well as referencing this thread so that they know what I'm talking about. I really hope I don't get the run-around when I call or have to play phone-tag.[/QUOTE]
