<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doctorzee, post: 503285, member: 1968&quot;]Hello all,</p><p>The photos below are obv and rev of a PCGS MS64 1987 American Silver Eagle. The whole front of Liberty, and the center and lower portion of the shield (rev) were not struck up. You can&#039;t tell from the photo very well, but the &quot;flat&quot; areas are highly reflective (not rough or dull) as though polished (raw plachet-like). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Many local dealers have looked at this coin, and at first said &quot;weak strike&quot;, but when they see all other devices struck up strongly they retract. Some said &quot;struck through grease&quot;, but retracted as they never saw one with BOTH sides effected, and normally it is cloudy, not shiny. Favorite explanation is a bad planchet - probably light (not enough metal to fully form the die).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hint: I have 2 of these identical - both PCGS MS64 slabs.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Any help as to 1) have any of these ever surfaced before, and 2) what might possible causes be. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks in advance for your help. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://home.comcast.net/~numizmatics/flateagl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
