There seems to be extra markings on his forehead? Coin 1 has a particular line going up from the the brow through the forehead. Coin two has lines like rays on the forehead Please take a look at the pic and tell me what you think about coin 1 and coin 2 THanks so much for your help ... coin 1 coin 2 Report this Post to the Staff

garylcsr Pillar of the Community United States 1952 Posts	Posted 02/27/2007 5:44 pm your second set of photos are better. but in the future try taking the coin out of the flip and you will get a lot less glare. I don't think it's a clash though nothing fits for a clash. possibly grease or a rag or something was stuck to the die.? Gary Report this Post to the Staff
madhandles761991 Pillar of the Community United States 577 Posts	Posted 02/27/2007 8:07 pm Right, I have been wondering what part of the design could have clashed in that way... gary, are you suggesting a struck thru? Report this Post to the Staff
garylcsr Pillar of the Community United States 1952 Posts	Posted 02/28/2007 2:49 pm i wouldn't call it a strike through. but it is either grease or a damaged die or possibly even a damaged planchet. either way there is no premium on it so I would put it back to work.
