The term you are looking for is clipped, but your coin is not a clipped planchet, it's post mint damage. Look up 'Blakesley effect'.
Against my better judgement I will go ahead provide the details you lack. Think through the minting process and then come up with a plausible way...
This is not the 69-s DDO1. There are a handful of other very minor DDO on the 69-S, and your coin may be one of those, but they all have no...
I disagree, I dislike smoothing as much as tooling. I do not intentionally purchase coins with either, I want them as original as possible....
When you look at the fields of your coin what do you see? Do the fields appear to be struck by something that was very, very smooth, or by...

Congrats and keep up the studying. Read it again, study some more pictures, then read it again. I think I probably spend 6 months on his site...

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you did not intend this to be condescending, but it comes across that way. Do it again...
Mr. Waggers, what don't you understand about my post? You alternate between vague, open ended questions and complaining that no one is answering...
I'll start with a suggestion that you will find very helpful if you decide to follow the advice. Instead of posting that people still haven't...
These types of posts come up about once a month, so please excuse our members from getting a little short on the answers. Had you bothered to...
The crack extends from the bust through the first star, then to the detils below the second star. I actually think I see a point extending off the...
Gronnh, congrats on getting bit by the copper bug. Looks like you are getting into attributing late dates. If so I can't encourage you enough to...
Time. Eventually they all patina to this: [ATTACH]
Agreed with Condor, a genuine low grade, honestly worn S-197. Likely has an old cleaning which has re-toned, although that may just be photo...
12 net 10 for cleaning on 46, and 25 net 12 on 53. Check this out for grading these: http://early-copper.com/grading.html
