kkirby99 Valued Member United States 231 Posts	Posted 02/07/2016 11:39 am Can't say that I've seen this before. What's your guess with what's going on with this reverse? Report this Post to the Staff

kkirby99 Valued Member United States 231 Posts	Posted 02/07/2016 1:54 pm T, that's my guess as well. Coin does not appear to be counterfeit although I don't have in hand to weigh and measure. Edit: Just found a certified one on ebay that has the same void in the ribbon so I guess it's okay. Must be grease. Edited by kkirby99 02/07/2016 1:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

nicelytoned New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 02/07/2016 4:08 pm I've got a 1876 quarter from the San Fran mint with the similar missing sections in the banne, leaf buds not connected and numerous die cracks. I'm going with 52Raymo in over polishing. They were probably having to touch the dies up a lot due to high production that year. Report this Post to the Staff
