lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 11:32 pm The date, breast of the coat, bow tie and neck all have peculiar marks; all of them are raised. I picked these from a sewn mint bag so didn't think it was PMD. Thought maybe struck through but then I found a second one identical to the first. Pictures three and four are of two separate coins for comparison. Any ideas? Would these be considered keepers? Report this Post to the Staff

lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 06/13/2015 6:33 pm I found two more of these, still have 4,900 coins to look through from the mint bag. Hope to find some more. Could the marks be die gouges? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/13/2015 6:40 pm I'm not thinking gouges as the area affected is deeper into the die. (the reason I ruled out die gouges) Usually die gouges affect the fields. 54 Edited by coop 06/13/2015 6:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
