To be honest, I can't tell you what that is. It's pretty interesting though.

As we discussed Bate, either a feeder finger die scrape or heavy polishing lines. The more I think about it, feeder finger die damage seems most likely. the direction most report for Feeder Finger Damage is that same angular direction SW to NE.   Well Coop? We don't, please instruct!  Edited by Crazyb0

Crazyb0, Here is Mr. Coop said:"While it does look interesting, I would keep it. But if it were a DDR, then I would expect to see other devices altered with the same doubling. I think it is a transfer from a previous die clash from on the obverse called a counter clash. (Couldn't think of it until just now) The obverse die had them transferred to it and rotated a bit, then another clash happened and transferred them back again. That is the only way I can see this happening right now."   |

I agree with crazybo. There also looks to be a tiny gouge going in the same general direction in the corner on top of the memorial over the first bay. I'm leaning more towards heavy polishing because they don't all follow the exact same angle. Especially the one in the first bay. It looks closer to N To S. if it was a rotated counter clash I would think they would all be the exact same angle as well as feeder finger scrapes. Prob got over polished and the wire brush caught the sharp edges of the memorial bays. When a brush is spinning, the closer you get to the center of it the more angled the gouges would be and straighter the closer to the edge. In my opinion of course

By Coop's explanation it does seem viable as a Counter Clash Type 1www.error-ref.com/?s=Counter+clash
Read a bit more through that reference for additional thoughts. I would have thought tho, unless the mint techs were super sharp, they would have missed other evidences on the coin to polish away. Seems there would have been much more clash marks all over. Just MHO?

When something different from what they usually look for, they will miss it.   Edited by coop
