    Zoom in and look at the ES of the word STATES and the O of the word OF. They are faded. What caused the identical marking? View attachment 454248

    They aren't identical. Look at the entire legend, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" AND "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and see what other differences there are.

    Doh! Look again, Rick! The grease-filled areas are apparent on more areas than the "ES" & "O", but are different on both coins. They can't be from the same die.
