coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/10/2019 09:50 am The obverse is also showing very heavy polishing. Note the 'TY' on Liberty is weakened. Same on reverse initials. But more of a normal issue with metal movement during the strike. This area is common to show weakness. Edited by coop 04/10/2019 9:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74806 Posts	Posted 04/10/2019 12:09 pm Over Polished die issue. Very common for that year, as they pushed the crap out of these dies as long as they could. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
