I am guessing this is just coin damage but wondered if anyone knew for sure. Something is in the field to the left of the memorial that resembles a 7. And in the bay next to the statue there is what looks like the shape of a statue, or a shadow of one. Report this Post to the Staff

Only time I use max mag as that is to enlarge a known object such as a Mintmark to see the shape, serif areas and inside detail...EVER! If a DDO / DDR/RPM is not evident under 15x, it will be of little wholesale/retail value as a very minor or unattributed error. , only because we don't have a "headshake" Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/04/2018 5:26 pm They dies devices get more shallow as the polishing happens over and over. Looks like the last attempt was with a wire brush? No premium for this. Just a bit of die abuse. Report this Post to the Staff
