[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 679339, member: 112"]Oh I have no problem believing you, I just play a little game with myself when I first look at coins. Surpising how much you can learn by doing that. For example, with this coin, look at the denticles on the rev right. See how there is something of a double row there, one behind the other ?
