HalfDollarDave Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 09:56 am Nice Coin! I've never been a fan of circulation cameo (neat term, I agree), but it does bring out the design quite nicely. I wonder what happened to the 2 in the date. Report this Post to the Staff

harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 11:39 am I was wondering about the "2" as well. Glad someone asked. Almost looks like someone tried to do a crude over-punch. Report this Post to the Staff
HalfDollarDave Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 11:48 am That is odd. I have no idea what could have caused that. It looks like a perfect oval, so I don't think it was scratched in. I also don't know of anything that would punch an oval (or at least a backwars "C") into it either. I don't think is was stamped with it either, stamps usually happen in the feilds so that it is more obvious, and I've never seen a doubled stamp, on the curve below the 2 makes it look doubled. Huh. I know it probably makes me a wee bit loopy, every time I see something like this I always think "Hmm, what could have caused this?"

harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 12:01 pm Looks like a common oval shaped zero "0" punch was used...the shape isn't perfectly round like a typical "o". Report this Post to the Staff
HalfDollarDave Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 12:19 pm I don't know, there seems to be a little mark at the top right of the the mark that looks like it could be the top serif of a C (type a C in the quick reply thing below and you'll see what I mean).

harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 12:32 pm Ah, yes, the "serif" of an uppercase "C". That's a good point...looks like a likely explination as well! Good eye. Report this Post to the Staff

theroamer New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 12:58 pm Just a little Canon Digital Elph point and shoot. I have a small desktop tripod, manual mode, macro setting, no flash, ISO 100. Setting the ISO low is key, otherwise the pics are grainy. Report this Post to the Staff
