Also on the back, the E of "E Pluribus Unum" and first few letters of States...is that wear or some kind of weak strike? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 02/12/2021 6:08 pm @eac, the surface on the front of this coin looks like it was preferentially toned rather than struck through cloth. However, please confirm that the darker areas are on the surface rather then shallow depressions. Thx.
