bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 12/02/2011 4:44 pm reports67, Mr. Neff is one of the best in coin identification. Sure we are not all perfect but, I would go with what he said. This is a great site to learn and ask questions. I'm still new too. Report this Post to the Staff
DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 12/02/2011 5:39 pm reports67: Are you talking about that small line inside the "D"? If so then it is at best a small die gouge. Report this Post to the Staff

DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 12/02/2011 8:58 pm I see something but it looks like damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 12/02/2011 10:19 pm Okay, I'm a newbie but I think I see what might be the result of Die Deterioration. The MM doesn't look right but it doesn't appear to have been struck twice either. So between the usual wear a coin endures and perhaps a worn die ... maybe you get that appearance.
