<p>[QUOTE="C Jay, post: 382544, member: 13184"]Follow-up on the pics; In the top photo you cab see a dark spot next to the right wing across from the second and third row of stars. In the bottom photo when the light hits it right it becomes a shiny spot. The same thing happens with the dark shading at the base of the N near the E in ONE. On another coin, I have also found the same shading at the base of the N only much less pronounced, which leads me to believe that this was produced by the hub and not the planchet. On the other 2 coins I have, there are identical "specks" above the point of the first A in AMERICA on both coins. What I'm calling a "speck" is a reflective pin point like the one next to the D in DOLLAR. Is this how to identify indiviual hubs or am I reading too much into this? Below is a photo of the Multi-Holder with the rev 08 on the left which I think is an honest MS-70. The strike was deeper and the relief is shinier. The lighting exagerates it a bit but not all that much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
