<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gatzdon, post: 318118, member: 8247&quot;]Wow, I was going to post this question hoping I don&#039;t offend the OP, but then I read all the posts before mine and it looks I won&#039;t be the first.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the obverse, it looked like there were directional lines, but with scans, you can&#039;t always tell.&nbsp; But then I noticed that in almost every recessed point on the obverse, it was darker and didn&#039;t match the fields.&nbsp; I&#039;m talking about the areas around the stars, around liberty, around the date, and also between all the lines around the rim.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m new to evaluating coins at this level.&nbsp; Since almost all of my coins are pulled from circulation, I&#039;ve never worried about such things, until I pulled a few higher end coins out of circulation.&nbsp; So now, I&#039;m just trying to work on my skills of how one would diagnose such a thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>So feel free to tell me if I&#039;m dead on in identifying the symptoms, or am way off.</p><p><br /></p><p>Either way, I think OP bought a nice looking example of this type and it does contain about all of the details.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
