I just recieved this beauty!
I tried to show close ups on the under type of two things that I liked particularly, the details inside the shield (small tower, lion..) and the bit of a smirk on Charles mouth that I always
enjoy shows up fairly well !
There is a nice die crack, and I'm curious if there is an opinion on wether or not it would be from the host coin, or on the new dies ?
Also, I was surprised to find that it'scondition seems to be very close to uncirculated (don't they call that AU or something
)
Any way, opinions are welcome on that score...I will point out that the fine lines that show up in my pics appear to be die polishing, as the luster is undisturbed in
those areas in hand, and the lines all appear in the fields and stop at the devices...dipped no doubt, but hopefully not cleaned...
Here's a close up of the under date...I'm getting 179_ ... there is something angular there, a 2, 4 or 7 ?
