Dearborn Moderator United States 96315 Posts	Posted 02/20/2022 09:39 am Under the date on the bust, could be a small lamination. At the back of the neck the collar of the coat looks weak - maybe due to die polishing. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/20/2022 12:38 pm Looks like the die was polished around the date area. This maybe dust on the gutter part of the die that wasn't cleaned off. So that is probably the first coin to be struck on that die after it was polished. Note how clean the fields are. But it is not an EDS die. So that is what I see interesting about this coin. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/20/2022 12:56 pm Sorry to get off topic: I created an image of putting the buffalo back on the plain again. But it got moved to a new location: http://goccf.com/t/417482 Probably won't be seen in that location. But I figured others here might enjoy this image. Report this Post to the Staff
