mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 01/16/2013 01:46 am Hello, What is that longitudinal object parallel and SW to the double-headed arrow I drew? I cannot tell if it is an optical illusion, indentation, or otherwise. MS61 would be my guess depending upon your response to my question. mdpmedia Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 01/16/2013 03:35 am I'm thinking possibly a low grade uncirculated on this one. MS-60/62 range "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

Eklections Valued Member United States 171 Posts	Posted 01/16/2013 08:23 am The line identified by mdpmedia appears to be a die clash under my best magnification. It has some width to the line that varies along the length. Another mark to its upper right appears to have the shape of the flag. Very hard to see though unless at the right angle.

dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 01/16/2013 6:16 pm AU could be a clash or could be some serious doubling of the drapery...head-on photos with less lighting would help Report this Post to the Staff
