What do you think? -The second line in F on the FG is missing -FG looks extremely swollen and bold -The second 9 in 1989 as you can see is much thicker -Other areas of the coin just look off Any ideas?

papatony Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 07/04/2012 12:20 pm Just a guess on the F, there are so many file/polishing marks that I see , I am guessing,since the FG would be incused in the die that the die had some grease or filings in it? Them mid decade 1980's are a mess aren't they? 85,86,87 and I have found a few 88's that are trash . Lots of plating issues. The 9 looks flatened maybe by a rolling/counting machine?

RollSeeker Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 07/05/2012 5:10 pm I would say plating, later die state, or struck through an iota of grease. I think the '83s should be included for the 'worst of the '80s', with all the experimentation with plating that went on. So many bubbles on those too! Report this Post to the Staff
