I am saying it is probably a MAD and something else. Coop or Mike would know for sure what is going on with it. Weight might help, and I was wondering if an edge shot in the area in question would be helpful? John1
Quote: As far as the edge goes it seems normal.. not exactly sure what to be looking for. here is another picture comparing it to another normal one.
n00bdude, Nice images of the obverse rim and or false rim. Didn't think about this earlier. The edge is the outside of coins perimeter. The reeds come from the collar. Does it show normal all the way around?
Now that I'm home from work I have time to take more photos. Still going to be some time before I get a scale, can anyone recommend a fairly inexpensive unit?
As far as scales go,what price point are you in? A 0.01 scale will be the cheapest,0.001 will be better but cost more. If you plan on staying in the hobby,go for the 0.001 model. John1
All I see is a minor horizontal misalignment of the obverse (hammer) die. Weakness here and there in the peripheral design could be due to "grease" or a slightly weak strike. Again, it's too trivial to carry much interest.
