Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 01/17/2010 11:01 am i found this in pocket change yesterday. I just thought that the horse and the rider was just wear. but then I looked closer and saw that circle around it. (that is a full circle you just cant see the other half because of the picture) and I thought it was a Grease Filled Die that struck it. so I brought it here for the experts to see.

coinseeker Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 01/17/2010 11:12 am Sometimes concentric circle like marks of that type are imparted on a coin by a rolling machine. That may be what caused this. It's definitely post-mint damage in my opinion. I'm no expert though. Wait till the pros weigh in on it. Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 01/17/2010 12:40 pm The horse and rider look fully struck to me. That is the design. It wasn't a very nice design in my opinion. I agree with coinseeker about the circle. It is just damage. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/17/2010 1:15 pm The design is not worn, the Bucking Horse and Rider silouette is the iconic state symbol of Wyoming. You can find it in use throughout the state and even on the vehicle license plates. http://soswy.state.wy.us/AdminServi...History.aspx http://soswy.state.wy.us/adminservi...verview.aspx As for the circle mark, it was caused by a counting/rolling machine as mentioned.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/17/2010 1:45 pm There is no detail because it is a silouette look at the website I provided, it has the exact image that is the state symbol Edited by biokemist6 01/17/2010 1:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/17/2010 1:56 pm Yeah...it's not SUPPOSED to have any detail. And yes, the concentric scratch is from a rolling machine. It's a normal, damaged coin. Report this Post to the Staff
