CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 02/25/2013 10:40 am Very cool looking. Here's my guess: it is a small eye screw with the full image at the top above Liberty. It "migrated" through the metal during the strike process. A keeper, IMHO. Report this Post to the Staff
papatony Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 02/25/2013 11:14 am curse my eyes. Is it raised or incused? If incused it looks like a bad counter stamp. if raised looks like a strange die break/crack? Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 02/27/2013 02:21 am It's easy for my eyes to play tricks on me--I flip photos and see what happens. If it were raised, I would think it would lessen as it passed through LIBERTY. Interesting idea about the screw--I can almost see indentations from threading. Whatever caused it, I would bet it happened during the strike--not PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
