igwt79 Pillar of the Community United States 1478 Posts	Posted 07/20/2025 11:28 am Pretty cool BU coin! Appears to be Die Deterioration to me https://www.error-ref.com/?s=die+deterioration I believe I see some PIDT on the reverse https://www.error-ref.com/?s=progressive+indirect Not sure what else might be going on... wait for the experts to chime in.

Spence Moderator United States 34455 Posts	Posted 07/20/2025 11:31 am @some, yes that is a bit odd. I wonder if something was pressed into the surface of the coin between the number 5 and the rim.

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7121 Posts	Posted 07/20/2025 12:13 pm IMO between the rim and the 5 looks like a "struck" through of some sort. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19276 Posts	Posted 07/20/2025 12:59 pm Reverse is showing evidence of Die Deterioration (wheat stalk 'stems' leading into a raised 'connective' feature). Might be a strike trough issue just off the 5 in 1935. Is the feature raised or sunken (incuse)? Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10601 Posts	Posted 07/20/2025 2:06 pm The area looks incuse/depressed - so I'd agree with the "strike through" theory. Report this Post to the Staff
