I suggest using Earle42's method. The ring light is optional if you have alternate sources of illumination, such as indirect sunlight or other types of lighting. http://goccf.com/t/422658 Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Edited by HondoB 09/30/2023 11:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Michael Kinser New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 12/02/2023 5:47 pm They kinda look like gashes in the pics but they arent gashes. Also what about the letters I see between what you see as gashes.i see an A and s G...and there seems to be a silhouette or shadow of what looks a star on a coin above the 18 and next to it the same with what looks like part of a hexagon...

adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 927 Posts	Posted 12/02/2023 8:52 pm Michael, the pictures are really too blurry to say definitively what the situation is with this. Based on what we do see, it looks like a very well worn dime with post mint damage and/or graffiti. And I do see that A and the X you are referring to, but that doesn't mean it is anything special. Need better pics. Report this Post to the Staff
