chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 4225 Posts	Posted 01/14/2021 11:47 am That is neat. I would guess that they didn't polish after that die work. Great eye on your part for finding it. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 47827 Posts	Posted 01/14/2021 7:38 pm Looks like the wire brush fell into the depths of die on the nose and also the bottom of the jaw. No tooling, just a terrible job of polishing the die. Note how the scratches are raised above the design? Richard S. Cooper Some have asked about my images I use and I'm glad to say, you can now you can see the DVD in sections on youtube: 1. Intro, older coins, toned coins 2. Doubled dies 3.

twohawks Pillar of the Community United States 1469 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 09:08 am Well this and about 280 other coins are off to PCGS for Bulk and Economy orders. Brain R thinks this will MS-66 or maybe 67. I have it as an MS-65, but bought it from him at what ever grade it returns as. As far as being wire brushed, I don't think so Coop. The overall depth of the lines as well as the tops of the lines shape leads me too believe tooling. With the die steel being as hard as it has to be, I can't believe wire "even short stubby bristles are hard or stiff enough due this type of damage to this post hardened die.

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 2719 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 11:24 am Very cool coin. Agree that the lines appear too thick and wavy to be errant die polishing. They look like die gouges, or tooling as you say. I can't imagine this was accidental--it almost looks like deliberate defacing of the die. Report this Post to the Staff
Eyez Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 12:38 pm definitely nice tone, and such a cool over worked worker on the die must have been a monday coin lol. Report this Post to the Staff
