CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 03/18/2016 9:10 pm This 1990 is practically BU, but I have had a change the coloring a bit on my program so I could photograph it with out the glare of the orange shininess. At about the 2 and 3 o'clock positions there are some markings that I am not familiar with. Could these represent the Die Attrition marks or possibly die gauge/scratch? What could have caused it to happen? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
