Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 05/23/2015 11:02 pm ... My parents went to Philadelphia in 1903 and all they brought back was this Ken, is that tooled or thick grease blob? Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 05/24/2015 05:08 am Sure looks tooled to my eye, a Grease Filled Die would not have so many depressions, it looks like tooling that was smoothed out. As Ken said probably getting it ready for some sort of engraving job. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 05/24/2015 11:51 am There are a bunch of interesting coins in the "Fakes" box that are genuine. One of my favorites is a double-headed Kennedy that I pried apart to show the inside of each. Lots of other goodies that will be fun to shoot. The box came in marked to use for educational purposes. Cascade, these are tooling marks. Edited by koinpro 05/24/2015 11:51 am Report this Post to the Staff
