<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rascal, post: 1387465, member: 29239&quot;]If this was really done at the mint then I&#039;m almost certain that the dies had been heavily abraided to remove something or maybe it was unfinished dies. I have plenty of coins that have heavy polish marks like this where some major die clash marks was removed from the die, usually when a die is abraided the polish marks don&#039;t go up into the recesses of the die but I know anything can happen. another thing that could have caused this is the fact that the dies may have been starting to become clogged up with something.&nbsp; My opinion is that this was caused by a die problem and not a planchet problem. We have way too many goofed up coins coming from our coin mints these days and quality control has gone to heck. anyway I like your coin and thanks for letting us see it.
