Thanks for the link first time to VAM world for me the clash may explain some of what I see I'm going to keep my nose out of this one and be a watcher and a learner. |

That is a strong clash E there!
I would have to send it off to John (messydesk) to have it graded and attributed.
I'm just a little concerned about the surfaces...
Hope she straight grades for you...Good luck!

I love the E clashes. As I said in your other thread (which has apparently disappeared), I think the lines on the cheek are roller lines. They don't have the appearance of planchet striations, and die polishing lines are typically on the fields, not on the devices. I still think the obverse surfaces are not original, and the graininess can't really be explained by a soft strike.

Thank you Zurie. I found a comparable 1891-O on Coinfacts, can you tell me if these also appear to be roller marks:  Thanks again! |

Yes, those are roller lines, similar to yours, but without the surface disturbance.

Thank you again, I always wondered what caused that type of striation. Now I know what to call it. Any guesses on what could've caused the surface disturbance? I'd think it would likely be some sort of chemical or environmental damage as it seems to be in the nooks and crannies, but I'd appreciate the opinion.
