Guessing this is a bad-ass Greaser. Love it. |

The edges look a bit strange as well.  |

This one is well above my pay grade. I wonder what @mikediamond would say about it.

I would agree with Spence, well above my pay grade.... I do think at this point that the frog is correct in a major Greaser, not a capped die and the coin may have been in a bezel for a time. Look forward to what sharper folks have to say. Cool coin though, Alonzowick90. -makecents-

Here is a better picture of the date, it's almost impossible to get the right picture but it is 1995 for sure, what I'm not 100% sure if it's a D or S mint mark but definitely either or because of the small uprise of copper near the average MM location.  Edited by Alonzowick90

I am only guessing but I do think it was in a bezel with enamel painted design then some sort of acid used to remove paint.

I agree with the above about the bezel, but am wondering whether or not a wire wheel (Dremel?) was used on the front.

It weighs 2.50gr so that would not be possible. Acid would burn the zinc and take some weight off.

I'm with odd guy, some sort of manipulation here.

I don't think it's posible to remove the whole obverse design without manipulating the weight, 2 options. A major Greaser wouldn't manipulate weight neither a strike error of some sort. |

I'll say Struck Through Die Cap. This coin hasn't been altered with.

Struck through a very, very late capped die along with a partial collar
