JimR Pillar of the Community United States 1490 Posts	Posted 02/07/2008 10:02 am Please take a look at this douge on the reverse of this Washington quarter. I posted a pic of this several months back but I can't remember what it is called. KurtS has a British cent over in the British coin forum with a similar incuse feature. Thanks, Edited by JimR 02/07/2008 10:02 am Report this Post to the Staff

Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 02/07/2008 12:03 pm To recess the coin like that, there would have to been a raised area on the die and I guess this could have been a strike through. If that was the case, however, how could the stem of the branch still be visible? This one really confuses me and I will be interested in what the guns think. Jim Report this Post to the Staff

I believe it to be a lamination that circulated after detachment smoothing out the sharp edges of the lamination. If the peel is thin enough detail will still show due to differences in metal density from striking. Same principle as using nic-a-date to reveal a Buffalo date or placing a copper cent in acid until it is very thin- the majority of the detail is preserved even though metal has obviously been removed.
