snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1235 Posts	Posted 05/19/2026 2:08 pm Found this one yesterday. Have absolutely no idea why the area around the eyes looks like it does. Actually has a small spot to the left of Jefferson's cheek which is the same, I just couldn't get a good pic of it. Has a mirror finish and is flat - almost like it was filled in - I soaked it in acetone last night, just to make sure it wasn't. (Sorry, the glare on this made it hard to get a good full-coin shot) Thoughts? Thank You! Report this Post to the Staff

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7505 Posts	Posted 05/19/2026 3:44 pm It is caused by an overpolished die that has taken away some details in and around the Eye further blank areas can also be seen to the right side of Jeff's Forehead ( left of the viewer) It is a good one and definitely a keeper.

I've never seen an over polished die which didn't have any scratch marks! This literally looks like someone poured some sort of self leveling liquid in there. But I agree - definitely a keeper Edited by snailking1 05/19/2026 4:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
