Ralph Pillar of the Community United States 1582 Posts	Posted 01/28/2007 10:47 am This poor old thing is as smooth as a river rock, so it's difficult for me to tell just what the diagonal mark on the obverse is, or was. Considering the fact that it is still visible on a smooth coin, I don't believe it to be an old scratch or gouge. Were it that, I believe it could still be felt. Anyone here have any ideas as to what may have created it? Ralph Image: 1853.jpg 63.96 KB Image: 1853 Rev.jpg 76.61 KB Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 01/28/2007 1:05 pm Hi Ralph Im afraid at this point any answer would only be specualtion and unprovable,, its possible that it is a planchet seam or its possible that the coin was deeply scratched to check its authenticity, or its possible it was the object of a kids obsession and suffered the many things that a kid can do to a coin. There are any number of things that could have happened to the coin,, but one thing is certian it served its purpose . Metalman Report this Post to the Staff
