<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1098073, member: 24633&quot;]The reverse die might have accumulated a light coating of debris-filled grease which created the &quot;scratchy&quot; texture in the field from STATES downward toward ONE CENT. It looks like the grease and debris may have partially filled the &quot;E P&quot; of E PLURIBUS, did the same on the steps of the Memorial and the &quot;E&quot; of CENT.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m not sure about the date, and the markings on on the &quot;97&quot; appear to be raised (I think) which would rule out a clash. Maybe it&#039;s a die gouge or something, but the mark on the &quot;9&quot; looks strangely similar to the mintmark.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
