ilikeikes Pillar of the Community United States 1205 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 12:41 am Looking at some 2014-S Silver proof sets to send into pcgs for grading, I noticed this sharp bright mark on the rim of the Sacagawea dollar. It's on the inner rim, below Y in LIBERT...I used my 10x loupe, and my 30x loupe, and, my endoscope for super close ups..in hand, the wire sticks up at exit zone, and, makes a small shadow...it dives back, into field, and ends in field with a super-sharp point. Never seen anything quite like it. From afar, it just looks like a post strike cut, but, after examining, I believe an expert would agree with a embedded wire, or, super sharp loose rim remnant, or, human hair. Possible winner for error collectors. Scratches on full obverse pic are not on coin, but on plastic case. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 03:38 am Looks like coin contact from a dropped coin? Report this Post to the Staff
ilikeikes Pillar of the Community United States 1205 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 11:27 am I don't know..could be something when blank was "upset", if you catch my drift..it seems odd that something as a coin, or, post mint strike, could reach the areas this is, without the usual Reeding Marks..this is wire thin..literally.
