Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 08/26/2015 07:32 am Not sure what is going on with the ribbon. Could be me but it seems to trail off in a weird way and it is also gigantic. I put a comparison picture in the mix. I know the coin has a camo like thing going on so I tried to put a couple filters on the pictures. Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 08/26/2015 08:09 am Are you talking about the 3 sets of horizontal bands on reverse ? if so , it's thick because of substantial wear. the bands seem to be joined together and not separated the way It would be on an unc. Mercury dime. Report this Post to the Staff
Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 08/26/2015 08:19 am Yeah I had considered that and you could be right. I spent some time looking at the coin under a little higher magnification and thought it didn't have that mushy look that you get over a long time of circulation. I thought also what may or may not be doubling trailed into the field along the other ribbon. I'll have to look into a couple things Report this Post to the Staff
