TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 11:04 am Hi all. The T and R are raised and backwards. I'm guessing damage of some sort but the Raised T and R have me confused. I'd love your thoughts. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19146 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 11:46 am I'm thinking a deliberate, partial 'vise job' done many years ago--backwards text is an indicator. Report this Post to the Staff

TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 11:48 am Ok. I'm good with that explanation but how does a vise job get raised letters? Wouldn't they be incuse? Thanks again Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 12:03 pm The question to also ask is: what is going on at K9.5? a bezel? or was something added to create this and the backwards trust. Now there is also a 'U' that is incuse by raised TR in between the last 'T' of the normal trust Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 979 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 12:51 pm Someone went through a lot of trouble to satisfy a perverse need to create what is clearly a intentionally damaged coin. I'll never understand what rattles around inside the head of a troll and/or people who do this to a coin. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 6:59 pm If raised along with the damage to the rim. Seems to be altered after strike. Exactly how I can only speculate. Maybe a transfer using a hammer and a 2007 or 2008 Presidential dollar with edge lettering can produce something similar. I was wondering more about the eye lid area. Do I see an extra one? Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 7:21 pm Are you sure they are raised and not incused? Report this Post to the Staff
jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 05/01/2023 7:29 pm Looks like that entire area has been messed with. Also note the rim above liberty is bent out some. Whatever? Report this Post to the Staff
