Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 10/03/2020 5:25 pm Nice find TB. That's pretty dramatic rotation. One thing I noticed was some weakness on the left wheat lines which lines up with the head in the mirrored image. I'm guessing that might have been a result of the metal flowing into the head instead of into the wheat lines like a normal strike? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 10/03/2020 5:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 10/03/2020 9:26 pm Pete, you are correct that the weak spot lines up with the top of the head, but I looked at the coin back and forth and honestly am not convinced that is the reason for the weakness. Maybe, but not sure. Coop, that looks awesome with the red background. "smoke and mirrors" - now that made me laugh! Report this Post to the Staff
