The Regency Store Valued Member United States 103 Posts	Posted 08/18/2017 12:19 pm Apologies for not specifying my question. Yes I was referring to what looks like a gouge behind eagle's mouth. I'm seeing what appears to be uniform striations in the groove behind mouth and below eye. Had my camera on low res, changed that so here are better pics: Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 08/18/2017 6:48 pm Just an scrape. But I can see why you would ask, given it's placement. Report this Post to the Staff
The Regency Store Valued Member United States 103 Posts	Posted 08/18/2017 8:31 pm I envisioned some guy/gal at the mint, first day on the job as the coin polisher, finding out how much kick the little polishing wheel had. Or a tiny gremlin with a gas powered chop chop saw... Gonna find some errors if it kills me! Report this Post to the Staff
