Utphotoman New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 09/15/2023 10:54 pm Hey all. Thanks for the patience. I am brand new to all of this. I was looking at the proof set I recently picked up and noticed a mark on the back of the dollar. Can you please let me know if it is a scratch/ contact mark or a die crack or other error? If you could explain what points to that identification it would be awesome. Report this Post to the Staff

livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 09/16/2023 09:35 am Welcome to CCF! Looks like damage scratch, to me it's below the surface. If it was from a die crack it would be a line of metal above the surface which filled into the die crack when struck. Edited by livingwater 09/16/2023 09:39 am Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 1148 Posts	Posted 09/16/2023 2:55 pm Agree with the scratch and post mint damage. Also this coin doesn't exhibit the mirror fields of a proof coin so my guess is that it is a business strike rather than proof. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Bedrock of the Community United States 22254 Posts	Posted 09/16/2023 3:28 pm This is just a scratch, but This coin does not look like a proof coin.
