SomeGoodCents Valued Member United States 238 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 12:19 pm It's impossible to obtain a side angle with Coin's luster and my (backwoods) photo set-up. ugh I need a scope. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 12:59 pm If the bottom area is incuse, then it could be a hit by another coin or the coin was altered with a small screwdriver. Making the field reduced on one area and pushed/moved onto the other area. Note the other line across the bust is also in the same direction. So I feel the coin was damaged somewhere post strike after the coin was struck. (damaged) Die crack on the shoulder. Edited by coop 03/12/2023 1:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SomeGoodCents Valued Member United States 238 Posts	Posted 03/12/2023 5:14 pm I believe that's a wrap, Raised to the east from westside hit. My loop displays it much better. Resembles others I've noticed in the past with machine like nicks in a row, but these nicks are much smaller. PMD with the smallest die crack I've ever seen appears conclusive. Thanks for the help.
