custodian2018 Pillar of the Community United States 545 Posts	Posted 04/24/2022 2:50 pm there are two rough surfaces on the coin thinking it might be grease stains. one is located at the point of Minnesota. the other extends from the boat down to the date. all commits for the futureappreciated Edited by custodian2018 04/24/2022 3:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DMN Valued Member United States 275 Posts	Posted 04/24/2022 2:58 pm Can't really tell unless the pictures are clearer. Like the line by his nose could be a die scratch but it could be damage. Clearer pictures are needed to help you. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 04/24/2022 5:12 pm @cust, I agree that in the absence of better pics it is hard to tell if this coin was struck through gritty grease or has been abraded (damaged).

Dearborn Moderator United States 96595 Posts	Posted 04/24/2022 5:23 pm Agreed, better pictures needed with less glare on them. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 04/28/2022 12:53 pm Much better pic @cust, but honestly I'm not 100% sure on whether is is just a surface abrasion or struck through a little gritty grease.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/28/2022 12:55 pm Looks a lot better. I agree oil/grease/water with grit leaving the rough surface. Report this Post to the Staff
custodian2018 Pillar of the Community United States 545 Posts	Posted 04/28/2022 1:17 pm thanks for confirmation because I have 40 or so Nevada State Quarters that have the same markinds on both sides Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/28/2022 1:28 pm Probably not much of a premium for these. They are a striking event. To a serious collector, they would pass. To an error collector they might find interesting, but know what it is. Report this Post to the Staff
