It has nothing to do with your imaging skills and everything to do with my own neuroses. :) [ATTACH=full]610788[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]610789[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]610790[/ATTACH] Intriguing. I see flaked metal around the impact area, which clearly indicates the planchet was laminated and metal fell away. However, I also see an impact. :) What I don't see is any bleedthrough on the obverse face, where one would think that impact might be visible, being so deep. On the other hand, delaminations don't usually take the form of nice rounded divots, either. Are we looking at a fortuitous impact which delaminated metal that was prepared to depart with the right hit in the right place? I dunno. Like I said, intriguing. :)[/QUOTE]
