almostpennylane Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 05/22/2020 08:55 am Found this coin. Not sure if it could be improper alloy mix, poor annealing, or just severe damage? No idea what's going on on the reverse - multi color splotches and what appears to be another rotated wheat stem going on to the rim of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

almostpennylane Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 05/22/2020 09:06 am Is the overlay in the last image just a funny coincidence PMD? The way it lays over the wheat stem and goes on to flip up on the rim? Edited by almostpennylane 05/22/2020 09:09 am Report this Post to the Staff

The way it lays over the wheat steam and goes on to flip up on the rim? Yes exactly--just a coincidence. Note that this linear mark is incuse, but if this coin were double-struck, then it would be proud.
