Something may have been resting on this coin for years, causing a corrosive reaction. Die breaks on IHCs are usually finer, raised lines that connect the date, legends and denticles in many possible combinations. Very seldom do they cross the portrait, since that's a deeply recessed area on the die. I'm probably stating the obvious here! Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 06/11/2008 2:37 pm I agree that corrosion was removed from the coin. The lines may have been caused by a trowel striking against it while it was being removed from the soil by a metal detector enthusiast. Report this Post to the Staff
