Simple trivia.

How do you tell which side of a coin has more detail? I'm talking about coins you own.

    Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you sumthin' . . . . that ain't no optical illusion, it only looks like an optical illusion.

    My mind reader refuses to charge me. . . . . . .
  • IMO....the obverse if you are selling....the reverse if you're buying.

    Experience has shown though it usually works the other way around for me!!!
    Go well.

    Brian.
  • With all the brains here I thought this would have been solved already.
    If you want the answer PM me.
  • Smprfi:

    I find your PM hard to believe. Putting the coin in microwave for 30 seconds ....and then the freezer for one hour....and then weighing with a kitchen scale?

    Hard to believe!!!
    Go well.
  • No,no,no.I said freeze it for 30 seconds,nuke it for an hour, then scale it to the kitchen.God no one listens to me.It's like talking to a wall.
  • My apologies:

    Now...I did it the correct way as described. Amazingly...it does work!!

    No joke though....your correct instructions do make a lot of sense.

    Thanks for the idea.
    Go well.
