found a jefferson possible weak die punch on obv

either this is a really good polish job or its a weak die strike, you guys tell me what you think.


anyhow
no date, no lettering,
faint outline of body,
however! middle of hair above shoulder has full detail

back has full detail and some wear.

could be a worn jefferson, could be a greased fill die. many possibilities. You need better pictures for yours are too blurry.

 

yeah shrek I do. its just I dont have a camera that can take them.
stupid BB curve!


there are bumps in the bottom left. the top of the head has a outline but the rim is gone. and super shiny.


for now ill go with a polished nickel and wait til I get a usb microscope.

 

heres some better pics with a magnafying glass.

 

and the bumps to the left of him on the rim

 

and the back

 

It kind of looks like a strike thur but look for marks that it had a dremal taken to it. If it looks wavy it is a strike thru

 

maybe thats what the bumps are in the bottom left of the obv, it does kind of look wavy.

I dont see any directional lines like a dremmel or buffer was too it.
but then again I have bad eye, damn I need a usb microscope.

 

That has to be post mint damage. How can you put that rim on one side of the coin but not the other.

 

i have no idea man, thats why im asking everyone else,
I dont think its anything special, but ya never know.

 

+1 in agreement with RLM.

 

The obverse has been altered via some type of mechanical means; buffing wheel, etc.

 

The obverse has been partly ground off.

 

Post mint damage tampered coin

 

k k, back into my bucket then.
