It is possible that this is post mint damage.

I understand that the coin counting/rolling machine wipes that part of the coin out. I've seen many coins with that mark on them. __________________ “Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.” John Wayne Last edited by rockdude; 12-04-2008 at 02:12 AM.   12-04-2008, 06:08 AM   #7 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 17,767 To all: I would have said the same thing: post mint damage possibly from a coin counter. But-- look at the date, there is no raised metal from the coin counter puching the metal at the date, and it is very straight. __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!"

Look at WE of IN GOD WE TRUST and look at the LI of LIBERTY, they are all effected by the same thing. It was not struck by a damaged die. You may not see the scrape marks, the damage remains evident on the details but the scratches can sometimes wear away.
