rayof315 Valued Member United States 241 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 12:40 am Wondering what might be the cause of what looks like a partial extra stalk coming off the left wheat grain on the reverse of this coin. Found a couple of these in an obw roll. Well placed die chip? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

rayof315 Valued Member United States 241 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 05:09 am Okay, I'll try for some closer images tomorrow. Thanks for all the comments so far. Here's the best I've been able to do with the equipment I have (cell phone, magnifying glass & loop). Definitely see the need to research some microscopes. I'm leaning toward die gouge myself, but I'm no expert by any means. Edited by rayof315 07/13/2015 9:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
