    Could be feeder finger scrapes, but I'm seeing something kind of round or curved in between the two lines, in the big space.

    I'm going to try to get some better pics in a little bit. My shots aren't showing what it really looks like in hand.

    I never even thought of feeder fingers Cliff. We'll see if I can get some better pics to show all the areas in question.

    I tried the camera with loupe attached and this was as good as I could do. It looks like it is nothing more than abrasions and maybe a tiny clash remnant. The part on the shield looks to be damage as Viv said and I couldn't get a good pick of the area above OF.

    I had been looking for this thread for a couple of days, after a thread Rowdy started reminded me of it. Do you recall what conclusions you came up with on this guy?

    Lol, I don't even remember looking at it. For all I know, it may still be in the envelope! I look around. Sorry!

    Not a biggie, I had forgotten about it too, until I pulled up this post. I think you were looking at highly abraded clashed coins at the time. Another shiny shell.

    Or maybe I wanted to study the planchet striations.
