<p>[QUOTE="Carausius, post: 2809782, member: 76440"]Another possibility is that the bankers" marks on the obverse damaged and flattened corresponding parts of the reverse. Note the banker's marks on center obv and see the raised area in the center of the comet? This is caused by the strength of the banker's punch displacing the metal. This was likely done on a table or other hard surface and could certainly obliterate parts of the legend at the same time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
