GaryVanWa Valued Member United States 326 Posts	Posted 07/04/2022 4:51 pm I'm posting 1st and will start looking for attributions next. I just looked at a lot of Wexler photos yesterday and don't remember seeing anything about the partial doubled 9. And if there is D/D also on this one, it is very slight ... but I have yet to check for possibilities. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/04/2022 5:45 pm Agree, metal moved in a most unusual way by a circulation hit. Report this Post to the Staff
GaryVanWa Valued Member United States 326 Posts	Posted 07/04/2022 5:55 pm 1st: I am certainly not the expert here. With that said, I can kind of understand how a circ hit could possibly roll up the metal, like pushing a cloth and making folds in the material. But, in the 2nd or middle photo, does anyone else see what looks to me like 2 faint "9 tails" on the inside of the curve of the nine, just opposite and to the left of the bright scrape half way down the 9?

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/04/2022 6:01 pm The coin exhibits Die Deterioration Doubling - it might be that, or perhaps additional circulation damage, or even a combination of the two. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95403 Posts	Posted 07/04/2022 6:26 pm the field above the 9 looks scraped, I wonder if that the where the extra metal came from. Collecting since 1972.

GaryVanWa Valued Member United States 326 Posts	Posted 07/04/2022 6:41 pm That seems like the only logical reason Dearborn. At first sight, I thought perhaps the flat scraped area above the "wrinkles" was a place where some had cleaned or scraped the die and somehow pushed part of the 9 out of place. But I guess a scrape and some wrinkling of metal just below the scrape seems the likely explanation. Fun stuff though! Report this Post to the Staff
