CoinHunter17 Pillar of the Community United States 1008 Posts	Posted 07/12/2020 1:26 pm Two things going on here. 1. Either there is a split lower serif on this MM or split plating. Can't tell. 2. The ear looks doubled. Looks legit. Could I get some input? Thanks. Edited by CoinHunter17 07/13/2020 10:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

jpgrajek Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 07/12/2020 3:06 pm How were mint marks positioned when the MM was hand punched, back in the day? Was it just by eye, a "line-up-the-mint-mark" thingy or a combo? Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter17 Pillar of the Community United States 1008 Posts	Posted 07/13/2020 09:46 am So the MM AND the ear were affected by damage? Edited by CoinHunter17 07/13/2020 3:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/13/2020 3:48 pm Not the ear area looks like an over polishing. Check to see if any of the devices in that area are smaller than normal. (Like the 'Y') When the dies get polished to remove die clash lines, some of the fields get altered and the coins will show a reduction of the die material. That is what I feel we are seeing on that area. Note even the date looks smaller than normal. Edited by coop 07/13/2020 3:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
