Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 11/19/2025 11:41 am Not sure what to make of these rim indentations. Are these perhaps a collar clash? The marks are shallow, but they do appear to line up with the reed indentations. Edited by Brandmeister 11/19/2025 11:55 am Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 11/19/2025 4:12 pm Thanks, guys. I tried a photo with a white background to capture the reeds and the clash. I would say that the clash looks better, but the reeds still aren't very visible. I will need to play with the lighting more tonight. Edit: slight angle.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 11/20/2025 10:57 am Thanks! =) I spotted something on the full obverse shot, a little scratch or anomaly through WE. Turns out that it's a small lamination seam. Will pull the coin out of the acetone in a bit, and see if we are making progress. Report this Post to the Staff
