This coin doesn't show any other damage. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Second, that interesting cross pattern of tarnish suggests to me that this coin was held in a stack of other coins with a two perpendicular rubber bands. I believe that the rubber has sulfur in it as part of the vulcanization process.

thekillertrout New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 04/02/2020 9:12 pm Just to be clear though the lines across the face are cuts or indentations and not just superficial marks. Would a rubber band be capable of that? I can take some more pics if it will help. Thanks again Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34416 Posts	Posted 04/02/2020 9:23 pm Ah sorry, from the pic it looks like surface discoloration. Yes better pics (both sides, in focus, and straight on) would be helpful. Thx.

thekillertrout New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 04/03/2020 12:10 am After looking more closely at the pictures of the back I noticed the line going though the right wing and did some research and found a similar one that had a die break attributed to the defect. It looks almost identical. Report this Post to the Staff
