CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 08/09/2015 11:00 pm Pics are kind of blurry. Looks like a AU-58 piece to me. What's the flaking going on near the band? Report this Post to the Staff
LordWrathbone Valued Member United States 124 Posts	Posted 08/09/2015 11:11 pm The flaking appearance seems to be a gouge of some kind. I will work on better pictures, but my camera is not cooperating and I may not have the best lighting. Report this Post to the Staff

jdiablo30 Pillar of the Community United States 946 Posts	Posted 08/10/2015 09:08 am Au55-58 a lot of sharp detail left. The top and bottom band are fully split still Report this Post to the Staff
LordWrathbone Valued Member United States 124 Posts	Posted 08/10/2015 11:22 am I was sorting by date and noticed this earlier piece stand out from the rest in sharpness. At first I thought a spec of something was sitting on the band, too bad it is a part of it eaten out :/ Report this Post to the Staff
