Jon K Pillar of the Community United States 723 Posts	Posted 02/11/2011 09:38 am I hope I am not abusing the forum, I seem to be posting a lot of pics lately . . . . . This is a 44-D Washington in MSsomething-or-other, it has an odd "ring" around the obverse, not so much on the reverse. What the heck is that? My fear is that it is evidence of a whizzing of some sort . . . . . Photo shows it very well. Anyone seen this before? Jon Edited by Jon K 02/11/2011 09:39 am Report this Post to the Staff

ACE Mike Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 02/12/2011 12:49 am Nice coin, does not appear whizzed. Probably a roll end piece as Newbismatic mentioned, with a slight scuff from the wrapping machine. Also - post all the coins you want here. As you can see there are a bunch of us that really enjoy this grading forum! Report this Post to the Staff
lukkyseven Pillar of the Community United States 880 Posts	Posted 02/13/2011 3:27 pm I see this same ring on nickels a lot. I chalked it up to being something from the Mint. Never thought about a coin roller... Report this Post to the Staff
