Mpatt83 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 01/06/2024 3:53 pm I'm referring to the columns on the front the building on each side of the steps. It seems they're hollow? Also the "ES" at the end of STATES is partially gone? Just learning thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 01/06/2024 5:48 pm Yeah no errors to speak of on your coin, just light areas on the strike, very common. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8839 Posts	Posted 01/06/2024 6:13 pm What you are referring to as "columns", are actually buttresses with tripods on top of them. I have the arrows pointing at them in the pic below. What you are seeing as hollow is just the copper plating worn off exposing the zinc underneath. -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 01/06/2024 6:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75368 Posts	Posted 01/06/2024 6:27 pm Weak strikes are common in that area. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 98847 Posts	Posted 01/06/2024 9:25 pm with above. The weakness on the letters on the reverse is due to the obverse design taking up the material needed to strike up properly. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
