Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 10/12/2018 7:21 pm Agreed. Edited: Sorry I had a link to another example on the interwebs, but I guess we aren't allowed to do that for that specific site.

Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 10/12/2018 7:27 pm I am learning... thanks to all of you sharing your knowledge. There is a lot to know about...and questions to ask, but it is sinking in. Can definitely get through coins much faster when you know what you are looking for. Report this Post to the Staff

Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 10/12/2018 10:24 pm That is the top of the upper deck rail... the spokes ( whatever you call them) are polished out... so it appears to be floating... or in this case, with it happening on both sides, it appears to be piercing through ;) Report this Post to the Staff
Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 10/12/2018 10:30 pm Spence - I have lots of learning to do still... but I try to chime in and try to answer in my limited way. At least regarding the things I now know... Paying it forward... makes cents ;) Edited by Eyes4Error 10/12/2018 10:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
