Grease got on the die and filled the areas around the stars.

"Josh Moran" wrote in message ... OK you error guys. What happened to this coin? http://www.civitasgalleries.com/images/US14747.jpg I'm not sure if there's any error to be found. The coin looks like it has been through it. It reminds me of some of the vinegar-baking soda, then wiped coins I've seen. Anita

I agree. This is not an error, but post-strike damage--perhaps a
blowtorch, perhaps high speed wire brushing. Bob Leonard

Coin is correct for weight and ring and is fully geniune. It is not likely to be post strike
damage. Note the weakness on reverse opposite the blank area on obverse. -- Josh Moran CIVITAS Galleries, Ltd. 6800 University Ave. Middleton, WI 53562 http://www.civitasgalleries.com Website Updated: 1/24/2006 Remove "these" "words" to reply direct.

There's considerable abrading in directions inconsistent with worn dies, which would be radial, your specimen looks like someone abraded after striking by some process. The question is, by what process.
