John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/10/2020 04:19 am If I remember right,the bar O is a die chip between the zero and the rim. What is going on inside the zero and the 6? PMD? Above the 1 looks like die gouges? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
csands1183 New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 12/10/2020 10:49 am Yes john1 I don't know how to really tell. It is interesting that it kind of matches the curve of the 6 and 0. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/10/2020 11:29 am It may have had a struck through debris issue on that area. While next to the rim, looks like die chips, the area inside the '0' looks more like a sliding of the struck through debris. (It can't be a die chip as die chips don't move. That is what I feel we are seeing on this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
