Sharongn Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 01/04/2024 1:50 pm What is the tree/triangle thing next to the E? Regular surface damage? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 01/04/2024 2:37 pm Hmm seems like just an area where that surface discoloration/accretion is missing. Is the triangle raised at all compared to the other surface of the coin?

Sharongn Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 01/04/2024 3:17 pm I couldn't tell my looking at it so I used a magnifier, lightly ran a toothpick over the mark and best I can tell, it isn't raised. I deduce this because I moved the toothpick towards the E and when it hit the E I felt it move up slightly. Report this Post to the Staff
