Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 07/13/2014 10:24 am This is one that I sat aside from the last 2 rolls I picked up at the bank last weekend. I see a lot of what looks like flow lines and a spike coming out of John's ear. Is this some sort of Greaser with a die chip? Report this Post to the Staff

Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 07/13/2014 10:28 am I think I am seeing Die Flow, common on Late Die State coins. Yours seems to be an excellent example of it. Edited by Matteproof 07/13/2014 10:29 am Report this Post to the Staff
