Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 11/23/2018 12:39 pm @antmark3d, as you probably know, the details on the rim opposite to the clip are often weak (i.e. the Blakesley effect). Could you please provide a close-up pic of this area on both side of the coin?

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 11/23/2018 2:31 pm Nice rim weakness to the left of LIBERTY. As @john1 pointed out, not necessary to find this, but I think that it is good to see. Very good pick-up!
