sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 03/20/2018 6:59 pm Tooling on the coin itself is often like this, to sharpen the outline of facial features on Roman coins, but I don't that this is the case here. In this case, the outline of the chin appears to be too exact to be post mint tooling or other tampering with the coin. My first suspicion is that is the product of a die variety.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/20/2018 9:30 pm Could have been a bit of grease and paper? That could prevent the field to raise there? Not seeing any distortion on jaw area from the image provided. Report this Post to the Staff
