radatat Valued Member United States 492 Posts	Posted 12/27/2020 1:10 pm yes I saw that. I was not sure if they just changed working dies between gold and silver strikes where some fragments could still be in the same press. Don't think it is copper. Much brighter under the scope.

radatat Valued Member United States 492 Posts	Posted 12/27/2020 2:23 pm could be Roth but these chips appear to me to be sticking out rather than a nick or scratch. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
