Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 02/01/2018 11:12 am It looks from the lighting, that the extra star is raised, while the normal stars are incuse. To me, this would mean that the extra star was caused by the rim of another coin striking the rim of this coin and transferring the image of a star onto it. I could be wrong, but it seems possible.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/01/2018 12:53 pm I agree. Coin contact bumping along the way created that star. Report this Post to the Staff
3193zd Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 02/01/2018 1:48 pm I think you are right it is not recessed like the other star. That makes sense. Still I think pretty odd for that to happen. Would seem like a very forceful incident. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/01/2018 1:53 pm Letter can also make raised marks on the edges of these coins. But they will be mirrored raised devices. Edited by coop 02/01/2018 1:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
3193zd Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 02/01/2018 2:30 pm Thanks Coop! Hey do you have any pictures on the Sacagawea dollar showing the difference in what they call a normal business finish and an almost proof? I have some that are very mirror like and other that are satin or frosted finish. both uncirculated. Report this Post to the Staff
