Spence Moderator United States 34441 Posts	Posted 02/15/2020 9:45 pm @pa, that looks like a linear plating bubble to me. You might be able to depress some portions with the tip of a wooden toothpick.

Preantique Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 02/15/2020 10:20 pm Thank you, Spence, you nailed it! Lieu of toothpick the tip of a small pair of scissors did the trick! Report this Post to the Staff

Preantique Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 02/16/2020 07:26 am Thank you John1, you should have told me this sooner! Now my $100,000.00 coin worth only $99,000.00! No, seriously, the tip was not sharp and I was very gentle!But you are right, I'm going to get some toothpicks, just in case! BTW, what do you think about the MADs, especially those double secondary lines at the TRUST? They don't look like as flat as a regular MAD to me! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/16/2020 11:31 am On the motto, you can see how some devices are smaller from over polishing. The areas that look wider, are referred to as DDD. ( Die Deterioration Doubling) so with the two die events and the linear plating issue, there's no premium for these. Just an educational find to share with other new ones you will instruct. Report this Post to the Staff
