nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 06/12/2023 2:20 pm When coins get that worn. diagnosing strike anomalies is difficult. Maybe your coin was scratched by a machine almost a century ago, and that damage later smoothed by wear. Report this Post to the Staff
roach Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 06/12/2023 6:11 pm A Lot of the mid 20's S mint Buffalos have worn dies that caused flat mushy strikes. 1923 and 1925 in particular. Report this Post to the Staff

Datguyy77 Valued Member United States 349 Posts	Posted 06/12/2023 8:32 pm I'm looking at the line behind five cents that curves all the way around and connects with the hind leg. I don't believe it's a scratch of any kind because it goes behind the lettering of the word five without causing any damage to those letters and it connects with the back leg Edited by Datguyy77 06/12/2023 8:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 06/12/2023 8:35 pm I suppose it could be a die crack. Report this Post to the Staff
Datguyy77 Valued Member United States 349 Posts	Posted 06/12/2023 8:37 pm It actually starts right in front of the buffalo's head and curves all the way around and connects with the hind leg Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94765 Posts	Posted 06/12/2023 9:38 pm I would like to say that It is part of the rim that didn't wear all the way down yet, but hard to say. the field was struck pretty deep in that area.
