kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 09/24/2014 4:48 pm The loop on the 9 is extra fat, also, at the end of the loop of the 9, it looks to have a serif, that appears to wrap around the the the edge of the outside hump. Also appears to have a small die crack inside the loop. Any thoughts? There isn't any listings on a DDO on this mint year. Also I'm not that lucky to find a new DDO variety L.

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 09/24/2014 5:15 pm Picture #2 shows plenty of evidence of the die being polished. That would also be the source of what you call a die crack. As for the flattening I would go for either PMD or additional damage caused by the reason for the die polishing (die clash?) or a slight slip by the Mint employee who was doing the polishing.

kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 09/24/2014 5:26 pm What are the indications of polishing? I didnt see that at all. What should I look for? Report this Post to the Staff
kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 09/24/2014 5:37 pm Picture #6 shows how that (serif)? Or damage wraps around and upward. I know little but am learning. Wouldn't that be difficult for a PMD? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/24/2014 7:03 pm Hard to tell from the images, but it looks like it might be a die crack? I would keep it safe for now. I don't see anything like this on other resources I have. Report this Post to the Staff
kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 09/24/2014 7:53 pm Ok. Thanks coop. Would you like me to ship it to you for a closer inspection? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/25/2014 09:58 am I would wait till coppercoins opens up their attribution services again. Then submit a great image and see what they think before submission. They may agree with me that it is just a crack, or they might want to have a hands on look at your coin. So don't miss place it.
