Rabbithole1 Pillar of the Community United States 520 Posts	Posted 10/13/2018 8:49 pm Im not sure if I'm using the proper verbage, but this 1964 proof has , what looks like an extra dot of metal between the 6 and 4. Ive looked up Cuds, and die chips..Im just not sure. There are these same things on the reverse, one above the C in America and below the A in America. Aside from that, what type of grade would you give this cent? Report this Post to the Staff

When I blow it up it just gets too pixelated. Any chance of a close-up pic (obviously taking precautions to not touch or breath on the surface of your coin?

SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 10/14/2018 12:09 pm I'd like some better photos to see the area between the 6 and 4. Could be a small struck through or a die chip/die scratch. Or might be post minting damage. Sharper pics needed. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 10/14/2018 12:13 pm @RH1, when you examine the coin in hand, can you tell whether these few areas are incuse or in relief? Knowing that could help us with our diagnosis.

Rabbithole1 Pillar of the Community United States 520 Posts	Posted 10/14/2018 1:45 pm Hi Spence, it definitely looks raised. Also when photographing the coin, you can spot it from every angle. (You know how scratches can seem to disappear from certain angles, this sticks out like a sore thumb. Report this Post to the Staff
