coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/08/2018 12:41 pm Looks like it might be wire. The light direction shows it is incuse on the coin. Edited by coop 12/08/2018 1:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 12/08/2018 1:57 pm Coop that is a really neat photo comparison. I have no idea how you were able to create the one on the right showing light inverted! How did you do that? Report this Post to the Staff

Eyes4Error Pillar of the Community United States 710 Posts	Posted 12/08/2018 3:20 pm BTW... Coop inverted the color on the photo... most likely in photoshop? ;) Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/08/2018 3:31 pm Pretty easy with that program. I just click on CTRL-I and its changed. Now I'm looking for an image with thread on it to show how the light reacts differently. (all I need to use is a coins device. (small one) to show how the light affects the closest side on a raised device, where on an incuse device it reflect off the far side of the mark. Report this Post to the Staff

I selected the negative image and it worked! Quote: My husband used to work at a mint... and worked and fixed the presses. He said this is most likely a fiber from the die polish cloths. Thanks for that...I guess it could be...the only reason I was thinking wire is that it seems thicker than what I would imagine for a thread or a fiber. Report this Post to the Staff
