mail187man Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 4:06 pm The "hit" you are talking about may just be the photo. It's like there is a little remnance of the AW but I too wondered if it was a grease filled situation. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 6:46 pm Most likely the result of die polishing. My birth year is 1941 and the Proof halves come in "with initials" and "without initials" varieties, the result of die polishing. I can imagine this happening to business strikes also.

mail187man Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 02/25/2019 10:01 am Thank you all for the replies and help with the initials. Also thank you for the compliments on the coin. I couldn't quite get the luster to come out in the pic, but it is pretty nice. Paid about $13 for it at the coin show yesterday from one of my favorite dealers. Report this Post to the Staff
