Re: Is there a trick to photographing overstruck coins to make the original more visible?

... and every possible coin and pattern I could find that features arrows, stars, and text in roughly the right place. Look closer, this is not pareidolia or hallucination.

Re: 1921 B over S in "PLURIBUS"

Without clear pictures, and none have been provided, the issue will remain not just in the possible realm of pareidolia (and being a neuroscientist by training, I love this being brought into the discussion!) but myth... Everything we know about the minting process says this ...

Trying to determine if this is an N clash

I would like your opinions on these two pics, if this is an N clash or if my eyes are fooling me or if this is pareidolia? Thanks in advance.

Re: Letter?

I swear I can see the "N" seriff where it actually should be according to the reverse clash.

Then again, maybe I'm suffering from Pareidolia. :lol:

Pareidolia and Pareidoliac are two different meaning. Was stating your site name is all.

Re: 1925 Excessive Reverse Pitting & Rust

Pareidolia is a word I learned here on VW. Great word. I think John B used it in reference to my seeing E’s on PEACE reverses that weren’t really there as well as n’s, t’s, and designer M’s. I’m still sure I saw the letter ...

Re: 1883-CC with unusual baggage behind the first 8

So the incuse n isn't really there and the 4A isn't really something. This VAM business is getting to be a bit unnerving. If tonight I look in the mirror and see someone else's reflection, will that be pareidolia, insanity, or time to buy a new mirror?

Thanks again for all the help.
