RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 06/07/2020 7:35 pm Thanks coinfrog. I couldn't figure out why the surfaces were so rough. Makes sense now Report this Post to the Staff
RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 06/07/2020 8:00 pm I see why you would say cleaned daveserrors. Photos dont capture all the luster. It would have to have been cleaned buffed and waxed to get as shiny as these old pics show Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19197 Posts	Posted 06/07/2020 8:04 pm That reverse is telling us a story--just not sure what that story is. Nice example--2x2 worthy. Report this Post to the Staff
RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 06/07/2020 8:07 pm Thanks ijn1944. I think it's cool too Report this Post to the Staff
RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 06/07/2020 8:09 pm If it wasn't bu I would have thought it got ran over in a parking lot Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/07/2020 8:11 pm Acid would not likely affect the coin in such a random way. Looks like die pitting from rust and grease issues. Report this Post to the Staff
RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 06/07/2020 8:19 pm Thanks coinfrog. I agree Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 06/07/2020 9:10 pm Definitely not PL . Some kind of planchet or die flaw . Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5785 Posts	Posted 06/08/2020 2:14 pm I was leaning towards the same thing as Coinfrog. Struck Through Grease and possible pitting. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 06/08/2020 3:32 pm Thanks petespockets55. My first time seeing pitting on a bu coin. It threw me off so I didn't know what I was looking at Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/08/2020 4:47 pm Possible struck through gritty grease. Note the weak 'AM 'and these devices are wider. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/08/2020 6:14 pm Looks like it was struck by rusted dies. Report this Post to the Staff
thelionwarrior Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 06/08/2020 7:16 pm I'm confused. Theres a designation for coins that are proof like but not proofs? Report this Post to the Staff
RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 06/08/2020 7:40 pm Thanks coinfrog and thelionwarrior. A proof is what it is and coins that shouldn't show qualities of a proof are proof like. I thought this may be one but shows you what I know. Plenty of confusion to go around Report this Post to the Staff
