Found this in a roll, it’s in gem state and a gorgeous RB toning. noticed by the stalk it has a weird raised structure, almost a double stalk idk. Opinions?
PMD scratch? never heard of die scratch before. But it’s strange because it is raised not indented but the top of the stalk, that section of raised-ness has lines in it like details. Idk
Not PMD at all. The Die was scratched so it comes out on the coin. Ever hear of the high and low leaf varieties on the state quarters? A Mint employee scratched two dies and it created a variety.
The anomaly on the reverse of your coin is cause by the feeder fingers hitting and wearing a mark onto the die. which in turn makes a raised mark on the coin. It can leave a shiny spot on the coin as it will make a very smooth spot on the die.
Not worth it, the coin isn't gonna peg a ms 70 so its not a great value. Would cost more then its worth. It is a gorgeous cent though!
