Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 02/22/2013 07:00 am Is the second profile raised or below the surface of the original? From the pictures, it sure looks raised. And I don't think lamination issue... I am not familiar w/ Austrailian coins at all. Is there a larger Australian coin that has the same size potrait as the second profile?
