Founder photography, Session 1. Digests are byte-for-byte archival commitments per the sealed asset manifest — the obverse master is the record's asset-commitment preimage. Ten distinguishing marks are plotted in the Surface Signature below.



Surface record
Surface signature — distinguishing marks
Ten curated marks across both faces, recorded from the keeper master photographs. Topographical marks carry primary weight — marks endure; toning drifts. The web joining each face is part of the record: its geometry belongs to this coin alone. Select a node to open its pop-out study.
Obverse — Liberty

M1The Eye LineTopographical
Liberty's eye, crossing toward the nose bridge
A thin, sharp diagonal line running from the brow down across the eye toward the bridge of the nose. Crisp and individual; the first mark a loupe finds.

M2The Field DaggerTopographical
Deep mirror field at 8 o'clock, inboard of the second and third left stars
A lone t-shaped mark standing isolated in the mirror field — a single figure in black glass. The strongest individual identifier on the obverse.

M3The Jaw TrailTopographicalRecorded tentative
Mid-cheek, descending the jawline toward the chin
A subtle vertical luster patch on the mid-cheek with a trail of russet micro-flecks following the jawline. Recorded tentative at curation — the subtlest of the topographical marks.

M4The Date FillTopographical
Within the recesses of the 8 and 9 of the date
Russet accumulation seated inside the protected recesses of the 8 and the 9 of 1879 — material held in topography, checkable digit by digit.

M5The Russet DriftContextual · color
Hair above the ear, sweeping toward the LIBERTY band
A diagonal amber-russet toning band through the hair above the ear. A color signature: recorded as contextual — toning can evolve; the topography beneath it does not.

M6The Rim CrescentContextual · color
Left periphery, roughly 7 to 11 o'clock along the denticles
A deep olive-russet crescent hugging the denticles of the left periphery, pooling in the star recesses. A color signature, recorded as contextual.
Reverse — the eagle

R1The Mintmark StationTopographical
The S mintmark, between the wreath bow and DOLLAR
The San Francisco S seated below the bow, carrying a micro-fleck at its upper-right shoulder. Every verifier goes to the mintmark first; this one keeps a companion.

R2The Right-Field FlecksTopographicalRecorded tentative
Deep mirror between the right wreath spray and RICA
A small pair of dark flecks standing in the mirror between the wreath and the legend. Recorded tentative at curation — awaiting the founder's loupe.

R3The Arrow FillTopographical
The arrowheads at the eagle's claw
Russet accumulation seated in the arrowhead recesses — the reverse's answer to the Date Fill, material held in protected topography.

R4The Wingtip BlushContextual · color
The left wingtip's leading edge, toward STATES
A warm russet drift along the leading edge of the left wing, reaching toward the legend. A color signature, recorded as contextual.
