toast Pillar of the Community Australia 1092 Posts	Posted 01/17/2006 12:06 am The photo of the back of the quarter is magic! I've looked a couple times and get an opticial illusion that the eagle in indented into the coin. Neat photo! Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/18/2006 11:17 pm First coin is Struck Through Grease, perhaps some modest premium. Second coin is a genuine clip. Reason for the indented appearance in the reverse image is because we expect to see coins lit from the top - this one is lit from the bottom. Our brains tell us to assume all of the lit parts face the top of the coin, and when the direction of light is reversed, we see it as opposite what it really is. Report this Post to the Staff
