<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 734490, member: 6036&quot;]Take a close look at this coin :</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=460&amp;Lot_No=2000" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=460&amp;Lot_No=2000" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=460&amp;Lot_No=2000</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Try not to drool ! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That coin has light porosity which was part of the planchet before it was struck. There were gas bubbles in the strip from which the planchet was punched.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This planchet porosity is most visible in the field behind Liberty&#039;s head. It looks like super-small Swiss cheese pores (or Havarti !)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Compare that to corrosion porosity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
