    On the obverse, yes. On the reverse, no.

    Adjustment marks on a solid VF
    The way the coin is lit makes it look possibly wiped, but it also could be a very decent, original coin 🙂

    Agree but that coin looks severely processed so to speak. Hopefully it's the pictures.

    Even if those are mint created adjustment marks, I wouldn't buy that coin unless it was sharply discounted. They make this coin really ugly.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    The coin looks to have heavy adjustment marks, as well as obviously cleaned surfaces and some distracting obverse scratches.

    Not a coin that I would want.

    Forgive me for my lack of expertise on this series, but don't those denticles look odd? Is this a genuine piece?

    More crude production. Doesn't look obviously fake to me.

    Adjustment marks are one of those things that some people ignore and others just can't.

    I think it's genuine, but if I'm spending several thousand dollars on a coin, it will likely not be this coin...

    Look at five o'clock on the reverse. Some of the denticles are tear shaped. That's a big red flag in any other series I've seen. But like I said, not an expert on this one. My knowledge is limited any earlier than draped bust.

    Obverse adjustment marks, O-108a/T-17, small rim cud, old clean VF25 details. Appears genuine but need in hand inspection to confirm. Here is my example, same DM PCGS F15:

    Thanks. I didn't realize this marriage had such unusual denticles.
