brokencompass Valued Member United States 451 Posts	Posted 03/14/2011 8:00 pm I have been chasing this coin for a while. But I am feeling insecure buying the coin because of the incuse scratches on the 9 in 1797. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

That points to a hump in the die or mold. That happens most often in the case of a plastic mold that is pulled off the host coin before the plastic has fully hardened. Duplicating this type feature on a die is conversely difficult. I would not buy this one EXCEPT as a fake. Report this Post to the Staff
