DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 12/02/2012 10:39 pm I'm seeing an interesting mark in the neck of Liberty--is it raised? It might be a file mark made to the die, or something cooler like the base of a "1" digit. Here's something similar on an 1882 IHC. It's the Snow-6 variety photo by Eagle Eye Coins Report this Post to the Staff
ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 12/03/2012 05:06 am I just tried cropping that original photo to better demonstrate the mark-- I shot these in the camera's lowest res so it didn't help much. Guess I should have just shot everything in full res in case there were interesting details to examine, duh. Changing the camera setting now before taking any more... Report this Post to the Staff

TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 12/03/2012 4:19 pm Nice coin!... even with the spotting. I would give it a soak in accetone. It will not hurt the coin and may help. Report this Post to the Staff

If it's a raised line, that could mean it's a file mark--or better yet, a new variety like an MPD (misplaced digit) such as the 1882 IHC. Report this Post to the Staff
