<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 974750, member: 15309&quot;]Doug,</p><p><br /></p><p>Please explain how all of these marks are concentrated in the area that represents the highest point of the coin (the jaw) and there are essentially no other contact marks on the entire coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1952NGCMS67Obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Additionally, they don&#039;t look like contact marks.&nbsp; Most lack the definition and sharpness that is exhibited by a contact mark.&nbsp; Unlike wear which will almost always show on the high points first, contact/surface marks are not drawn to the high points of a coin design.&nbsp; When you have a coin design that shows the same surface flaws in the same areas over years of production, it is perfectly reasonable to conclude that the surface irregularities are the result of planchet flaws in combination with inadequate strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just because you don&#039;t believe it to be true, doesn&#039;t mean it isn&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
