Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 04/17/2017 10:04 pm Damage from a sander of some sort. Notice how it's affecting only the highest parts of the design? Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/17/2017 10:43 pm I agree. The bust was intentionally sanded down. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/18/2017 11:47 am What is the weight of this one? If the weight is normal, then it may be a struck through a lot of grease on that area. The scratches may have been on the planchet before the strike. I noticed the motto looked altered a bit (weaker) thus that made me look at this coin as a possible Struck Through Grease error. If the bust was altered, where are the alteration marks on the rim. So if the coin is not under weight, I suspect a Struck Through Grease issue. The reverse looks normal, with no distortion of the devices.
