roach Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 09:52 am Hi all, recent pick up... Not sure if the marks around the 12 oclock to 3 oclock outer edge are clash marks? but there are also some weird marks in the hair and head of this large cent. Look like they could be a strike through. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95254 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 4:00 pm don't think it is a clash, that area on the obverse is opposite the word America and a bit of the ribbon.. Need better close up imaged of the head to know what happened there. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 5:48 pm I think it is surfacing planchet impurities. It would delaminate if there was less material remaining attached. Around the cheek and field are the areas around where the impurities eroded away, leaving a small shelf-like ledge on the surface. Suffering from bust half fever.
