<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alurid, post: 3522137, member: 81991&quot;]I think your coin was struck on a Thin Planchet from the end of a strip. Which is why it has a Weak Strike and ghosting. And being thin did not do well in the upset mill. It has two observable&nbsp; Retained Laminations on the obverse. The indent on the reverse could be an Unretained Lamination. The scratches On Abe&#039;s face are post strike due to the way metal is moved at the &quot;R&quot; in trust, as it bends inward. Possibly hit with Feeder Fingers while being ejected from press.. Your coin shows no wear from circulation, so I think it was picked from a fresh bank roll or mint bag of coins and has been in storage since then. Nice find. Where did you acquire it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
