This is when I noticed, the coin is slightly dished...the Obverse is deeper than the reverse, but no damage signifying that it has been slammed in the face or the reverse. What could cause that during the die process? Just something I havent seen other than on capped dies, possibly broadstrike? I put it back in the acetone for a bit, gonna try and get the gunk out of the devices...this coin is in quite good shape. better than expected. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

The reverse pics don't bode well. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff
