<p>[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 5281336, member: 73983"]Leftover emery powder was a consideration. From the shape and texture of the impressions, I would not doubt if it was a combination of sawdust, emery dust and oils. It's almost as if they polished the die hastily after the clashing and put it back into production as soon as possible, not taking the time to properly clean the die prior to the start up of production. They probably figured it would clean itself out everything would be fine. It's one of those mysteries that we may never know the answer for. But, that's what makes this coin so darn interesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
