<p>[QUOTE="howboutatrade, post: 1647944, member: 10387"][ATTACH]238919.vB[/ATTACH] Here is one I have found. Notice where the ear and the hairline come together. On your coin, there is significant wear visible in that spot and on the word trust. I would say the smooth matte like finish is caused by significant wear, not by any mint related issues. I have seen some interesting smooth finishes on coins that have been through fires. The smoke and heat cause some very interesting looks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
