(Different planchet, different coin originally, etc.) I took two pics with different lighting to better highlight. Adding another 1969-D to compare against.

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1655 Posts	Posted 02/21/2025 03:48 am It's a die clash. You are seeing some of the reverse design, the dies came together without a planchet impressing some of the reverse design on the obverse die. Report this Post to the Staff
