[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 3313985, member: 77413"]It's hard to see any strengthening of the hair details on this specimen. Maybe someone has some photos that show how it was improved. The coin also does not show full steps, although the last few days has shown nickels of much better quality than this. I just wonder how the original collector of this set managed to get such a dog for this issue. A lot of coins were not filled in for the '90s in this set. Maybe he built the set mostly in the 80s and was losing interest in the 90s. And maybe this coin really was pocket change that he popped into the empty hole. The five illustrations are: [LIST=1] [*]A full-range color image reduced to about 1/3 original size at 1600x800 pixels [*]A .gif animation limited to 256 unique colors at 800x1600 pixels [*]Full-resolution crop of the original photo showing the legend WE and detail of Jefferson's face [*]A full-range color image of a blank planchet reduced to 1600x800 - so it matches up with the first image in the post [*]A full-resolution crop of the original planchet photo. It matches the scale of image #3 so the size and frequency of the dings before the strike can be compared to the coin after it was struck. [/LIST][/QUOTE]
