Centered Broadstrikes [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
@cpm9ball I thought the die scratches were a given. I do think that the area around ONE is plating blisters and if they are present on the coin,...
I couldn't keep mine in time so I took the coins out.
Keep the coin for reference, when you find a DDO it will be easy to see. Here is one of my raw 95 DDO's [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
There are two things going on with the reverse. One is Die deterioration, and the other is a grease filled die.
Exactly linear plating blisters.
This looks like the plating was removed then the coin corroded.
