Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2036142, member: 112"]I would agree, but then, I didn't do that. Instead I looked at all the coins I could find of that design in the various denominations and the various dates for the design - before making my comments. I wonder, did anybody else ? Or did they just decide to trust the plastic instead of what their own eyes told them ? You see, that's what the saying - buy the coin, not the slab - means. It means that you completely ignore the plastic and trust your own eyes. And when your eyes see something that does not agree with what the plastic says, you don't start trying to think of excuses or reasons as to why the plastic says what it does - you go searching to try and find out if what your eyes are telling you is correct. And in this case what my eyes saw was corrosion on the surfaces of the bust, exactly like corrosion looked like on a thousand plus other corroded coins I have seen. So after looking at all of the coins I could find, then and only then did I post my comments. My conclusion, the coin is indeed corroded and the plastic is wrong. Now here's couple more pictures of the same design that I looked at, they show smooth surfaces on the bust too.

But no doubt somebody will try and think up some other excuse because the plastic, well, the plastic just can't "be" wrong <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
