It's essential to have it in the title. * Hello, I just need to know what they call the texture of this coin. I have a 1951 d and 1950 (cant make out mm to blurred) and an 1981 (cant make out mm) but here is an example. I would really appreciate it, I can't find a description or anything relative on website Thank you Jenn Report this Post to the Staff

This coin has been damaged somehow. The surfaces (texture as you say) are not natural. I'm going to need larger and better focused photos to say more than that. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Too many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time. Report this Post to the Staff
