CoinCbass Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 01/04/2014 08:23 am This one struck me as rather odd. The high points on the obverse are flat. I would think PMD, but the flatness is localized to only the highest points. The back is somewhat similar with all of the high points generally flat. there also appears to be metal flow lines around the majority of the reverse of the coin. I suppose it could be a worn coin, but if it is worn, it is wearing very unevenly and not in a typical manner - in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 01/04/2014 08:32 am My first thought: the reverse was laying on a hard surface (maybe a concrete slab) and a rotary sander/polisher was used on Roosevelt's ear. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 01/04/2014 10:06 am Another possibilities. It was struck VERY early in a press run while the Mint workers were trying to get the setup correct. They might not have had the dies coming close enough to render a complete strike. OR The planchet might have been unusually thin. Weighing it should confirm/deny this guess. Report this Post to the Staff
