Hmm , not my expertise but I'll give you two reasons that I can think of . Either a thin film of grease on entire reverse die ,or a weak reverse die strike . Wait for others to comment .  |

The reverse die looks like it was in a Late Die State.
Errers and Varietys.

Well the placement of the light makes it look like they are two different coins. But if you check the coin stains, they are both the coin, but the lighting is the difference. Too much light on the first images. The second set, lower and at an angle. United doe look weak, so it maybe a Struck Through Grease issue. The eagles/motto areas look like it maybe a die or a hub weakness because of using the master hub being used too long? No premium either way. But if we looked on PCGS on other BU examples, then we could see if this was a trend those years, or a die polishing issue on that die? Always use sources with great issues to see what trend was happening those years. Sometimes dies are just use too far past retired. So you will see weak designs on some coins and strong ones on the earlier die states. If you find that all of the dies are looking that way, then you will realize it is a weak master hub issue. So the more coins images you check, the more you will find out what happened that year. Edited by coop

It looks like the full pictures in person. The USB microscope changes the look of coins for some reason?

One last question on this coin and I'll put it to bed. Ben has a nasty pair of buck teeth on him or something similar to Penny wise (IT). Is that Die Deterioration also? |
