Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/05/2017 11:24 pm Looks like they whizzed that die then forgot to polish it! Grease filled for sure, have no idea why so rough...maybe some form of acidic was used at the mint to clean dies prior to final polishing? Yecch, what a mess! Need to wash your hands after touching that one, dude! Edited by Crazyb0 04/05/2017 11:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/06/2017 05:26 am That is die flow from an very worn/tired die. Probably retired soon after your coin was struck. Report this Post to the Staff
Potbellypub Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 04/06/2017 5:33 pm Thanks coop I didn't realize it was die flow I'm use to seeing it bigger and more defined. This is kinda low profile. Report this Post to the Staff

Potbellypub Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 04/07/2017 2:56 pm Nice coop ! So the O was not Struck Through Grease but a worn die issue? I just got another wrinkle on my brain. Thanks coop! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/07/2017 5:22 pm If if it were stuck through grease the die flow would not be present. But because the die flow is there even where the part of the missing 'O', then that part must have been missing for a long time to develop that much die flow. Report this Post to the Staff
