Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/21/2024 9:44 pm It looks like die abrasion marks around the date. Someone at the mint really went to town on the die. It could have been to remove damage or clash marks. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
