coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/17/2019 5:07 pm What concerns me is the the edge of the rim. Normally on a struck through the inside rim edge looks more cupped on that area: I'm not seeing that for sure on this one. But it would be strange to see a full filled with grease on just one side of the coin. But maybe the capped die is getting very thin at this point? But I'm leaning more at a struck through a capped die issue on this one. Why? Because of the blocked area in the center like a struck through a capped die would leave.

(It would have to be flattened a lot to make the obverse look like that. Also the zinc would be showing if altered that much. Report this Post to the Staff
