That one was smooth transitions, like possibly the first or last planchet that had an incomplete clad later. This one appears more like a break or damage to the planchet before (or during) the strike. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94812 Posts	Posted 11/19/2025 1:06 pm ok so what does the reverse side look like in that area? If there is "missing" metal on the obverse, I would expect to see a weaker strike on the reverse then. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Texas66 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 11/19/2025 1:49 pm Good point. But that would only apply if it occured before the strike. During or after it wouldn't affect the obverse. The obverse has the same issue, but it's smaller and not as deep. Here that image -> Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94812 Posts	Posted 11/19/2025 6:03 pm True, but if it happened after the strike, then Liberty would not look so strong either.. Collecting since 1972.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94812 Posts	Posted 11/19/2025 6:05 pm anyway, I think you should take up Bobby's offer on grading if you feel so strongly that you are correct - if you are right, then you get a free slabbing and attribution.. But if you are wrong - well, are you a betting man? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Texas66 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 11/19/2025 6:39 pm I think that offer was for a different coin or the offer got deleted. Anyway I have several I need to send out. This will be one of them. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94812 Posts	Posted 11/19/2025 7:42 pm you may be right on that offer, but when you send this one in, please come back to this topic and report the results (good or bad) please.
