MadDawgMaverick New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 5:49 pm I dont recall ever seeing a photo of a SBA dollar with strong roller marks still showing, so I thought id post this recent find here. Color could be from some environmental damage or just they way they are. Not too sure on that part. Weight comes in at 7.961 grams (NTEP cert. scale), so by all means "normal."

MadDawgMaverick New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 6:10 pm Nope, smooth as can be. I'm sure the original pictures dont give credulity to that observation, because I agree it almost looks like scratches. I'll try to get some with less harsh lights. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 6:14 pm Interesting, wouldn't roller lines only be on one side? Report this Post to the Staff
MadDawgMaverick New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 6:34 pm Single light source at k8/k9, 45 degrees off the surface of the coin, angled at roughly -15 degrees. Trying to get shadow + enough light to see what's going on. If any of the marks are incuse I cannot feel them. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 7:29 pm They would be on both sides. How can you flatten the metal stock with out rolling with pressure from both sides? Looks like it was an outdoor find. Note on the tops of some of the devices, you can start to see the gray/gold color coming back to surface on the higher devices. If you carried this for a time in your pocket, you could see the color rub off in time and the fields will stay dark looking. Take images weekly to show how it progresses.

MadDawgMaverick New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 09/28/2020 10:26 am Thanks for the idea Coop. I am definitely going to do it now. Had great results on a buried Kennedy half, granted it did not start nearly as dark, but still a nice look. Report this Post to the Staff
