<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2333141, member: 69760&quot;]The reverse on this coin has the effects of a &quot;cartwheel luster&quot;, and yet, when taking a much closer look, there are rough vertical lines on the fields, with obvious circulation marks. If this coin was dipped, then is it merely coincidence that the sheen effect exhibits a cartwheel pattern when light hits it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Or, is it a combination of different things going on? The reverse has a die crack through the bottom center. Is it a very weak/worn die strike, where the die was pretty badly worn and cracked, creating that surface? All the while still being a circulated strike?</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse is similar and has huge die cracks at the bottom area between 6 and 9 o&#039;clock. There appears to be scratches on the obverse, but it looks different... as if it&#039;s PMD scratches combined with a very worn die.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]473167[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]473168[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]473169[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
