<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 2578350, member: 21705&quot;]Hopes were dashed. I received the coin today and it&#039;s definitly the thin planchet. The edge has dings and what looks like letters, but they are far too small to be those used on the thick Cents so it&#039;s either an optical illusion or one of the variant planchet stocks&nbsp; they tried in 1795 using&nbsp; a coin with smaller letters. But they aren&#039;t clear enough for me to see and I can&#039;t get a clear shot of the edge to blow it up and extract the information. Perhaps I&#039;ll eventually learn how to focus my camera in manual mode when the automatic won&#039;t cut it. For now, I&#039;ll just assume it&#039;s the human mind seeing patterns in the randomness.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
