dragonsden New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 08/20/2021 5:09 pm Just got my tube of type 2 Silver Eagles. I can't tell if this is grease on one of the sun's rays or something else. Best I can do with my current microscope. Thoughts on this? Edited by dragonsden 08/20/2021 5:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

dragonsden New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 08/20/2021 5:47 pm I just added a third photo. I was able to very carefully with a small soft plastic pick knock off whatever was there, only to find this damage. Must have gotten something on the planchet before it was struck? And those other very small looking scratches were already there....I didn't do it! :) Edited by dragonsden 08/20/2021 5:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Now to the left of the dent I see what looks like roller lines, but I'm sure the experts will pop up and give their explanation of this. Collecting since 1972.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 08/21/2021 01:56 am I agree it looks to have been debris struck into the coin and you dislodged it, leaving only the impression. I don't see any notable up- or down-side value wise since these are bullion coins.
