levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 04/13/2019 3:58 pm I found this last night and I am not sure if this was done by a Rockwell Hardness Test. But if it is, I would think they would do more than one test per coin. I don't know. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74732 Posts	Posted 04/13/2019 4:01 pm Probably a Struck Through error. I very highly doubt that it's the Rockwell Hardness test mark. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 04/13/2019 4:18 pm If this coin is struck through (and I'm not convinced that it is, but E&V knows his stuff), then it probably is worth saving in a 2x2.

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 04/13/2019 5:27 pm Not saying it is or isn't, but its seems pretty darn close in appearance, shape and size to a (pre-strike) blank or planchet test subject.

levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 04/13/2019 9:26 pm Coop, You got Lasix surgery or something? It is there. I can easily see the outward bump by moving the coin back and forth at an angle to the light. I hope the USB scope takes is able to capture that slight protrusion. Next three pics are 90 degrees counter... for some reason I see it better that way. On the right side of the flag their is a white blemish. The bump is just to the right of the blemish( if the pic was oriented correctly). Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 04/13/2019 9:51 pm Wondering if it correlates in any way with the larger obverse Die Deterioration or protrusions above and through liberty, showing nothing opposite? Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 04/13/2019 9:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 04/13/2019 9:58 pm Trying to think this out.. would a strike through show as a bump on the opposite side? EDIT: grammer Edited by levelsofmadnes 04/13/2019 9:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 04/13/2019 10:09 pm This coin immediately intrigued me as the level of Die Deterioration shown is extremely unusual for such a new coin. In addition to the rough areas on the reverse, the obverse strike is particularly bizarre. I would lean towards a defective planchet as-struck and it being a Rockwell dimple, but professional authentication is warranted. A very interesting coin, and thank you for sharing it.

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 04/13/2019 10:22 pm Quote: would a strike through show as a bump on the opposite side? Short answer is no, but that is pending the die(s) condition. I see no raised ridge surrounding the anomaly. That is what catches my eye. Obverse Die Deterioration showing some. Could it not also be present on reverse as well? Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/13/2019 10:25 pm If the coin was altered after the strike, then it would push out on the opposite side: Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 04/13/2019 10:47 pm See coops 1914D example. The obverse screams of after strike indentions. Raised ridge around both blunt intrusions. The sharp protrusion on the reverse confirms it as well. Maybe you can see it in hand, but I'm not seeing that here on my end yet. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 04/13/2019 11:01 pm Yup. I figured I would have a hard time capturing the slight bulge. Best analogy would be like a small dent on a car door. Cant really see it head on but if you go to the back or front of the car and move your head from side to side you can see the small dent. Yes, in hand it is there. I just need to work on my picture capturing skills. Thanks everyone . now to see if there is a video on coin Rockwell hardness test. Need to see exactly how it is performed.
