Sannys25 Valued Member United States 145 Posts	Posted 01/25/2024 2:59 pm I am not sure what exactly is going on with this Coin. Any thoughts? The area in question is right above liberty and to the left of Lincoln's neck. Edited by Sannys25 01/25/2024 3:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 01/25/2024 3:10 pm @sanny, I think that you mean to the left of (behind) Abe's neck, but I'm still not 100% sure what mark you are talking about. The two marks with red arrows are just scrapes from circulation. The mark with a black arrow is in the right spot for a die clash, but doesn't look like that to me. Rather I think that is just a circulation mark as well.

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 01/25/2024 4:56 pm Good point @john and @ijn, there are a couple vertical marks, one from the T and one from the Y that appear to be from a die clash. The horizontal marks at the red arrows are scratches and what I was looking at originally.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95984 Posts	Posted 01/26/2024 3:54 pm very minor clash, but mostly hits and dings from circulation. Possible die polishing too, which could account for the weak appearance of the clash. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
