Evil Texan,

Full coin photo front and back please. My first thought is Struck Through Grease. Not worth sending in.

Definitely not worth grading. To me it's a spender.

Depending on how coins are handled, they can exhibit strange wear patterns. Such as a pocket piece.
This one is a spender

Appears to be wear in a specific area of the coin. It would help with a full coin picture. Coin not worth cost of slabbing.

Silvio, this is a recessed area on the die. More likely to be grease-filled than over polished.

Hondo, I believe that Silviosi is saying polished by circulation, meaning worn. Not that the die was over-polished. I could be wrong, though.

Personally, I see a lot of dings in the field that suggest circulation wear.

BRAND catch my meaning. I didn't want to use the term PMD which it is so large meaning. I use polished by circulation to spot the most vulnerable part of the design when is past from hand to hand or frote with other coins.

to the CCF This area is a weak spot on the Anthony dollars. It lines up with the head on the obverse which takes up a lot of metal to fill in. Like the reverse of the Lincoln Cent. Or the drum on the bicentennial quarter.

My apologies, Silvio. I was suffering from cerebral flatulence.

Your coin has seen a good bit of circulation. There are dings and nicks all over it.
