coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/01/2013 9:02 pm When John Wexler visited the mint they gave them a cent that had just been struck and it wasn't hot at all. So I don't think this was a striking issue. More of an experimental polishing issue. Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 11/01/2013 11:11 pm I agree I think the whole thing is a polishing and fingerprint issue, but I was just wondering about heat and now I know. Thanks Coop Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/02/2013 03:57 am I like your avatar pennyman007. First time I've seen that coin. Sweet. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 11/02/2013 09:08 am Since the swirled texture occurs both within the bays of the Memorial and on the steps of the Memorial, it's not a die issue. I suspect the surface has been chemically etched. It was suggested that someone touched the surface with a finger coated with a corrosive substance. This is certainly possible.

rpmes Valued Member United States 388 Posts	Posted 11/02/2013 1:07 pm Thanks coop and Mike, and everyone, great ideas and info. There is so much about this coin that I still don't know. I wish my eyes were better. Not trying to be a pain or anything, but can you comment about the tops of the columns on the east side of the coin where it looks as if the metal has been pushed around? Is that PMD too? And can you tell me about the unusual marks inside the lettering? Was that just a worn out die? I really appreciate all the help. Report this Post to the Staff
