That sure would explain it. That would warrant a details grade (if given one at all,) right? Edited by The Silver Searcher 12/14/2014 7:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 12/14/2014 8:19 pm Yeah, Details for sure. For a realistic grade concept (my opinion only) I'd work from the stronger diagonal, not the weaker. Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 12/14/2014 11:04 pm A bend was my first thought. It is possible the coin could have been straightened out since leaving circulation so any bend that once may have existed will be very hard to detect. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15761 Posts	Posted 12/15/2014 6:30 pm AG03 details - coin was at one time bent enough to experience the differential wear. Quote: My guess is a pocket piece and the owner rubbed it in the worn locations. Really? - I suppose somewhere on the list of possibilities ... but to achieve this level of differential wear would take years.
