Choger New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 04/21/2023 7:52 pm Can someone explain what happened to this one. I think it would be part of the post striking process but it could be pms as well. Has anyone seen this before? When looking at the rim, it shows no dings or dents. Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1658 Posts	Posted 04/22/2023 10:33 am Hopefully Mike Diamond will see it, I think there is more going on than just Die Deterioration. Maybe an incomplete planchet, that spread out on striking? Can you weigh it? Edited by lcutler 04/22/2023 10:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 04/22/2023 11:40 am Die Deterioration would affect most/all the coin rather than selected areas, the reverse shows a sort of Blakesley Effect but there is no planchet clip, Struck Through Grease is the closest match I can think of, but that's probably wrong Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 04/22/2023 12:25 pm I've seen similar results from the use of a high-speed rotary steel brush. It can remove some of the surface leaving this type of damage behind. The weight may be very slightly under spec. The coin may have returned to circulation thus masking the modified areas with an even tone. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Edited by Yokozuna 04/22/2023 12:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
