Observation Exercise

Dimes: Have you looked at your money lately?

While doing a visual study on two dollars worth of dimes, I realized each one of the dimes had certain marks or deficits. The normal things like the year produced was one of many things that stood-out. Most of the marks were noticed on or around the Franklin Roosevelt relief.The designer of the image is signed under the image "J.R". This is something that I never noticed before.
