<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 3606547, member: 105098&quot;]HI. Curious on what&#039;s going on here and would like an opinion. I&#039;m thinking die scratches/abrasions. It&#039;s on both sides of the coin and it seems fully struck yet the abrasions are on the fields and on the devices also like Lincoln&#039;s cheek, neck and jacket shoulder and the steps on the reverse. I&#039;ve had it set aside since 2005 and just came across it again and thought I&#039;d ask about it. I mean if it were PMD I think it would have gouged the copper plating and exposed the zinc, so either it was a really scratched up planchet before striking or a really abraided die pair? Either way wouldn&#039;t that be pre-strike? </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure what to make of it and would like opinions and thoughts on it please. Thank you.[ATTACH=full]965629[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]965630[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
