CarrsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 756 Posts	Posted 11/28/2022 9:36 pm im uncertain. the coin isn't deformed on the other side so I think it might be a strike through. I'm not positive. it has a similar flaw around 10 on the obverse too. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 11/29/2022 06:51 am Yes great point about there being no smushed metal opposite to these areas. The one on the obv looks a bit like a strike through of a small screw, where the indents from a couple individual threads are visible. Either way, they don't detract much from the overall awesomeness of this coin.

CarrsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 756 Posts	Posted 12/06/2022 10:37 pm thanks everyone. i just realized I mistyped and called this a 121A. thats not right at all. this is S-120A. 121A is a much rarer coin. a 121A in this grade would be the finest known by several grade points.

CarrsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 756 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 6:52 pm i just ran into an auction lot description and it made me think of those funny indents on this coin. here they are talking about a collar post causing that damage. I need to learn more about this but I thought I would share this interesting little twist. lot description for the earlycents auction at the Houston Money Show towards the end of january.
