Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 02/22/2025 10:30 pm @lit, it does appear that a little grease in the die may have prevented the date and LIBERTY from being fully struck up.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25086 Posts	Posted 02/22/2025 11:19 pm I'm going to go against the crowd and say that the date is scraped. I can see fine grooves / speckling in the 6 and the second 9. Also, there is damage to the rim adjacent to the date, and I think that these 2 are connected.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 02/23/2025 08:05 am I too shall go against the group and say possible Feeder Finger Damage. the scrapes are not showing on top of the major device elements - but maybe a tiny bit of grease was in the date area, making the 9 and 6 Shallower and wider, which allowed the FFD to also very lightly scrape them as well.
