Looks like maybe sand-paper was used if post-mint or is it valid from the US Mint as a struck-through? The wear is also on the reverse along the edge and more prevalent under the steps of the Memorial. Edited by chuckster 125 05/06/2009 12:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Granted, there seems to be directional lines and a lightness in the areas of weak or missing devises which seem to look like sanding marks. I just don't see how you sand completely up against the inside edge of the rim and not leave marks on it too. It appears that the rim is intact and unaffected, correct?

huntsman53 Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 05/06/2009 10:35 pm Yep, Struck Through Grease! I own as well as have seen many 1995-P and 1999-P Cents with pretty much the same look and the striations that gives the coin the appearance of having been sanded down.
