I am befuddled...That particular issue was something of a one-off. The edge milling is somewhat strange I admit. (I'm not sure what technology they used, but remember, this was only 10 years before the first official 'machined' coin of 1797). Yours looks a little more exaggerated than usual, but it may just be the lighting. I think your coin is perfectly ok. Quote
HistoryTreasures Posted October 19, 2010 Author Posted October 19, 2010 Thanks, But I thought I managed to google one which seemed to have normal, circular but 'straight' edges earlier. What an intrigiuing design.. Quote
