<p>[QUOTE="Hommer, post: 2985562, member: 73266"]The reverse tells a bigger story than the obverse. The missing rim has incuse letters, where stamped, they pushed metal out leaving an uneven surface near where the rim should be. If this was sanded down or altered after it left the mint, someone took a great deal of time punching those letters back in. I believe this is a very good candidate for a late stage capped die strike. I'm no expert here but there are a few members here that can verify whether this is true. Do you have a photo of the edge?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
