And it's possible NGC mistakenly called the scratch "wheel marks", but seems unlikely as it is a standard machinery scratch seen on many error coins. Wheel marks can be frustratingly hard to see on some coins unless the lighting is just right (other times they honestly can't be missed). When submitting coins I try to look at them from dead overhead, as that seems to be the best angle for seeing the marks when they are light. They also show up in the scope better than with a loupe, but you have to put the coin under the scope and spin the coin around to make sure the light catches them. Report this Post to the Staff

We constantly help one another make finds and additions to our respective collections. It's quicker and easier nowadays with the cellphones and computers. Some of us have more knowledge in one area than another, but we're all actively seeking items for one another. A few years ago, one of my dealer buddies found a counterstamped coin that I've been seeking for 25 years; and, at a great price, too! I got him a 1920 Lincoln Cent that was struck on a copper-nickel Argentina ten centavo coin. One hand washes another, in effect ... Edited by ExoGuy 12/16/2024 2:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 12/16/2024 8:17 pm Nice coin. I've ran into wheel marks on Lincolns in unc rolls that still have the rubber on them. Edited by Cujohn 12/16/2024 8:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
