Dearborn Moderator United States 97433 Posts	Posted 12/22/2021 3:28 pm Just a scratch. But we call the 'backside' the 'Reverse', The front, or heads side is called the 'Obverse' Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 12/22/2021 7:23 pm @rosie, thx for the additional pictures. Here is a close-up, with an arrow pointing to what I believe is smeared metal: "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
