I am completely new at this though and have a question about this 1940 s below. I know the marks on the letters are hits, but does it look like there is (or could be) thickness to the dots and the bottom of the legend? And the wheat shafts? When I read on coppercoins something like "slight thickness to the legend" it drives me crazy because at this point I don't know if I'd recognize extreme thickness. Am I on the right track? Any help appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
