This is just my opinion (others may differ) but I don't care too much for the minor doubled dies that are the result of the new coining technique...
It looks like someone may have wiped it with a cloth that had a solvent of some kind on it. Chris
If you're referring to the mark just east of LIBERTY, it looks like a gouge (PMD) on the coin to me. I think I see some metal pushed up on the...

Heather, have you ever found yourself in a forest with your nose placed squarely against the trunk of a big tree? What else do you see in the...

Why not? How about using an 1893-S in MS65 or better? Chris;)
