<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 3856576, member: 106826"]I think you might have two things going on here. Grease and a weaker strike. Given that you have a full rim, this would suggest that there was grease on the die when it struck the coin (e.g., a greaser). But the rim is shallow, weak especially by the date. This would suggest a weak strike. The reverse isn't as crisp either and some grease evidence at about 10 o'clock on your coin. The die state might be middle to late, so things start to get washed out. But more so on the reverse die as the IGWT seems pretty crisp yet (early to middle). Others may have something more to offer on this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
