I thought this was unusual but maybe it isn't. I see a second profile of the indian princess' bust about in the middle of the cheek. 1. Is this unusual? 2. Am I just seeing things? 3. How did this happen if this was struck in collar? Thanks!

I see it. It's kind of creepy. I don't know how to explain it, though.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

That's crazy. It would be one heck of a coincidence if that was made from nicks and stains on the coin.

Was that pic taken in any sort of holder? All I can think of is a reflection.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Cool coin if it's not a reflection.

The human eye tends to see patterns where none exist. This is simply random marks on the coin.

Man, that is a scary looking coin. I can't see that as an accident. I'd guess slab plastic reflection, too.

Do you see the reflection only in your picture or do you also see it when looking directly at the slab in hand?

There's a LOT of space between those images, too.
Is this a coin you have in hand?

Agree, just coincidental random marks.

This is a coin that was offered for auction yesterday. It went for $54 and I should have bought it.

I did find something of interest: Surface Film Transfer. It's near the end of this page: http://www.error-ref.com/surface-film-effects/It might just explain it but, I guess we'll never know. It's an interesting read, though, as usual. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
