Dearborn Moderator United States 96251 Posts	Posted 03/10/2023 08:53 am That 5 has a severe overbite. could be a chip, maybe a hit that moved some metal down to the field. (It is the same width.) Also, a lamination along the left side as well - from K8:49 to K10:38 Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

NEWmrMatic Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 03/10/2023 09:12 am Die chip, you can see the regular edge side at the point the mark in question meets the 5. It's not damage imo. It looks like a well placed chip. Report this Post to the Staff

As John1 stated, parts of a clock - think of the coin as a clock the top being 12 o'clock the bottom 6 o'clock or typed as K12 and K6 - I was just being funny with adding the minutes to it..

village idiot Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 4:18 pm Thanx guys. I guess my question should have been. What is the K for? I thought the rest was time related. Which leads to one more question? How can you break it down to 849 instead of 850 or 1038 versus 1040. Do you have an overlay of some sort that you use to be able to get that specific? Thanx again for answering Report this Post to the Staff
