Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 1:48 pm Ok guys, going over my trumans I notices a faint reddish line going from his lip down to the designers initial E. And also a shotter faint line next to it under the collar. It was VERY tuff to photograph with the bleaching from the proof field so I posted many pics with the first 2 highlighting the lines. I'm not sure but I'm thinking either an improper alloy mix or some very tiny red fibers were truck into it and being so small they didn't disrupt the contour of the device, just got "stuck" into it? What say you guys? (In hand it's not AS faint but still faint) Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 4:51 pm Hmmm good idea kid, I didn't think of that but I guess that can be added as a possibility. Let's see what coop and others think Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 11:56 pm The 2 top pics shows where they are. Look there on the others and for a red color near the lips then follow the red line down to the FE initials. Once you see it you can't miss it Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 4:49 pm I see em. I think you can probably rule out the alloy mix. Kid's theory might mean someone cut theirself. Your other theory might mean garment thread. Of couse, all conjecture on my part. Hopefully there are those that knows. Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 7:09 pm Ya, I hope coop or ken or Mike diamond chime in with their thoughts. None of my other 4 trumans have it. I'm trying to figure out if I should pay extra too send this one through error service with my Strikethrough or not? Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 7:20 pm Coop, look at the 3rd pic up from bottom. You'll see a faint red color to the viewers right of center at lips and below. The first pic shows where the red line is. It's faint but I'm sure with your eyes you'll see it! *4th pic down from top shows it better as well Edited by Cascade 07/12/2015 7:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 7:23 pm Cascade, it took me and The Kid a second round of looking with your extra instructions, to see it. Are you sure you want to pay someone to look at it once? Either scenario, struck through or stained planchet wouldn't be worth it. (In my opinion) Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 7:49 pm Gotta with coinmasters. It is so light and hard to see, even with your great photos, I can't see paying for a TPG error. Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 7:50 pm In hand it is more noticeable coinmaster. In diffused light that is. The golden proof color surface bleaches it a lot more in pics. If this were silver it would probably beam. I just don't know what the heck it is Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 7:53 pm You still couldn't sell it in hand on E'Bay. Report this Post to the Staff
