SF11Dude Pillar of the Community United States 746 Posts	Posted 01/08/2018 8:21 pm There are quite a few things going on that I need help with: 1) Obverse - Line above "L" on LIBERTY 2) Obverse - Eye area, is that Tripled? 3) Obverse - Note the square protruding from the "9" in DATE 4) Obverse - The "S" mintmark has extra fill 5) Reverse - Extra line near the base of the Right Stalk 6) Reverse - Extra lines near the base and the top of Left Stalk I know it's a lot to look at and answer but there is a lot going on...

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/08/2018 8:52 pm L=Die crack or chip Eye= note shearing MD on nose, related? 9=die chip on top, MDD on loer tip of curve S=broken punch or die chip, most likely punch Reverse is most likely heavy polish lines to remove a die clash. It's not the clash itself, but the work to remove it with..vigor! Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 01/08/2018 9:29 pm I was speaking of the coin you pictured last with parts of States and America undefined Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/08/2018 10:02 pm The coin with parts missing is a Struck Through Grease there. Polishing again, for this freezer, and that 4corner is the die clash polishing, that upper one was date and liberty. Edited by Crazyb0 01/08/2018 10:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/09/2018 12:43 pm Looks like the mark near the 'GOD' is raised? If so then it might be a die dent/gouge. If it is incuse, then it just might be coin damage. (but I'm leaning more towards a die gouge or dent.) Report this Post to the Staff
