I agree totally to understand what you are asking the forum needs to see a full picture of Reverse and Obverse of the coin in question, then the area you are referring to

Hi Rocky,

Your images remind me of when I first got my Chinese 200x mangification usb microscope from ebay. Haven't a clue what I'm looking at but it's very, very magnified.

The suggestion people are making to you about your photos makes a lot of sense, I created the attached with mspaint. Notice how much easier it is for people who are looking at the image to understand what I'm trying to draw their attention to. I don't even have to tell you what the variety is that I'm bringing your notice to, the picture really does it all.

At the magnification level you're at it becomes hard for me to understand if I'm looking at a bag mark on an edge in a shadow, or some very minor Die Deterioration damage or what. I applaud your curiosity and determination but I can also say that I couldn't imagine paying a premium for such a variety.

10x was suggested to me when I first started collecting, with some even putting the cap around 20x. My experience has been that it's very difficult to get people excited about a minor variety if I have to hand them a loupe, let alone set up a microscope.

Hope some of this insight is useful, in the meantime, cheers!

Rocky is trying to say that his close up image of the eye and nose appear to look as if there is a piercing
on the kings left eyebrow.
Took me about 5 minutes before understanding what I was looking at.

I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. All I saw was some object that had PVC or other corrosion on it and a ding by it. It could have been a part of a maple leaf for all I knew.

Flu or piercing in fact do not matter. For me still be an interesting coin. I will like to see the other side too.

In fact I thing so that ROCKY put here for us to have a little bit fun, and was funny.

Please Rocky put the O and R photo here, I will like to have them in my photos collection.

I will be curios to know what Mike Diamond will say about this coin.

i am sorry I need to tell you guys something. I am having terrible problems with my back. I want you guys to know . I am on some very heavy medication. see I never drank liquor. I never took any kind of drugs. when I was young. when I worked I work barehand on live line 345,000 KVA no mistakes. if you made one you would never make a second one. the first one there would be nothing but smoke from you. any way I will get the pictures for you guys. there is a copper staple in the metal on the kings forehead. some thing else the little maple. the leaf's center looks like its make of Nickle or silver.

Sad to listening this. I know what is the meaning of installing those lines. One of my specialty before finish my Ph is design and engineering cables. Only ones I install (reconnect) the distribution for US in Granby, Quebec during the first night of the big ice storm. Very demanding and hard job. Hope you will go better. I have also problems with the back. I will not enter on, but after an intervention in States get better and every summer I stay as long I can with the sun on my back. This help me a lot.

Thank you for the photos, I will put in my photos collection for futures observations.
