I'm not sure what kind of damage can make the tail of the 5 so skinny? Still trying to get a decent full Obverse pic. Thanks! DE Report this Post to the Staff

I'm getting better at researching but this one has me stymied... Maybe a Greaser on the date? Edited by DeadElvis 04/23/2020 6:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74707 Posts	Posted 04/23/2020 6:56 pm I am guessing that it was Struck Through Grease and was over polished. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 04/23/2020 8:44 pm Thinning of devices is usually an indication of over polishing, another indication is the shallow parallel lines along the field of the cent. Those are abrasions from the polishing compound used on the dies. Also note the evidence of die wear on "LIBERTY", particularly by the E and R. Nice pictures!
