<p>[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 8406903, member: 77413"]Agreed. It looks like this proof did not start with a planchet already polished to a mirror surface. Instead, the planchet had a bit of surface roughness. The roughness did not obstruct the flow of metal up into the III, which is sharp and clean. But, it did not reflow into a full mirror-like surface in the field. The result is a small straight-line disruption in the mirror finish that can, at first glance, look a bit like a kind of scrape.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
