[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2669866, member: 24314"]Longshot noticed the eyebrow area looks flat. It is and that's because the coin is an AU. That is not the answer. Neither is the gash, the star that is half out of the image but where it should be. The "earring" to the bottom right of the ear is a "dig" into the coin. One edge is pushed up in the direction of the punch. This is not a trick - it is useful training. Once I reveal the answer you are going to palm slap yourselves.:D Ok, try this. Pull up the image in the OP. Pretend it is in your hand and you are looking through a 3X hand lens. All you can see is this part of the coin. Look at it. Now think to yourself how would you describe what you are looking at to someone who cannot see the coin. What do you see? We are training our eyes in this exercise. I'll start: 1. I see part of the obverse of a Morgan dollar. It has a yellowish color. One member posted the white balance is off. 2. Now it's your turn. What is the next thing you see?[/QUOTE]
