<p>[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 1653811, member: 11854"]These areas of the coin are <i>not </i> the high point of the design and generally will not show wear before the center of the eagle's breast is significantly worn. Regarding the wingtips, those are strike issues that are quite common in the series and can be so extreme that high end MS coins can show virtually <i>no </i> wingtip definition at all. The tops of the letters might be strike, but they may also just as likely be due to lighting given that these letters are not toned in the same manner as the surrounding letters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
