Some of the feathers look to be retouched, while the mouth seems to show what look like teeth and extends into the curve of the beak. The bottom star on right hand side looks to have a dot in it. Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/25/2020 1:18 pm On the areas you are viewing as re-engraved areas, that is Machine Doubling. If the die were re-engraved, then that area would be higher on that affected area. A removal of die metal creates a raised on the design. Just Machine Doubling, not an altered die. (Machine always affects the outside edges of devices in what ever direction the machine forces the dies to move) Report this Post to the Staff
