[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 26552579, member: 104064"]I especially liked the part where he preemptively set the "rules of engagement" to exclude anyone recommending that he submit the coin for an expert opinion. I don't want to beat a dead horse, but in case it's helpful to someone else who runs into this thread, the first thing you need to do when you think you see something, other than knowing what's possible for the mint to have produced during the era when a coin was minted, is to eliminate nearby digits or numbers that cause your brain to recognize a pattern that isn't really there (aka pareidolia). What do you see now? Did the mint also put a question mark on the coin, or is this just random blobs of corrosion? [ATTACH=full]1692084[/ATTACH] Now rotate the image 180 degrees. See anything besides corrosion? [ATTACH=full]1692085[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
