<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taina Sorensen, post: 7982983, member: 125634&quot;]The first one though: it might be hard to tell from my poor quality photo but that ring IS raised higher than the parts of the coin with no image higher than the &quot;field&quot;, it&#039;s called right? If it was something like a can opener, like you say, in order to destroy the letters like that, wouldn&#039;t the ring be level with the field then? And the fact that the edges of the ring look the way they do, and slope slightly downward makes it look like the letters are somehow melded together. That&#039;s why I was wondering if someone soldered the letters into a ring. But if that were the case, they would have had to add solder, and it really doesn&#039;t look like any foreign metal was added. It looks like the original coins top metal layer. And if someone had melted the letters together, would that have taken so much heat that the reverse would be more affected?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
