    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.

    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.
