[QUOTE="charley, post: 25357783, member: 5372"]Under UM in "UNUM" (and above the Eagle on Reverse). However, I don't give a darn, because the "wipes" could just as easily happened a the Mint, and the small dink (my description) is laughably trivial and also could have been a Mint issue. The Die Break itself certainly reflects that at that stage of the useful life, it is not unreasonable to assume the Mint enhancement of the Die. It is a little inconsistent that the UM and Eagle location would be the only areas to have a reflection of being only the result of being aggressively cleaned outside the Mint, and I, as a Grader, would not have detailed this piece on that alone. I note there is an appearance of graffiti under the U of PLURIBUS, (and on the Reverse above the Eagle feathers) but only because of the photo, which is certainly quite larger than a 5-7X examination. I would again consider this a trivial issue, as I would the counting mark and the one very minor hit...so? Maybe a slight downgrade, but a Details, no. Absolutely not, for this piece. No doubt maybe it was dipped somewhere along the line. And?? It is an OUTSTANDING example and I would have been all over it in a Details Holder especially considering it could be had for less Wampum. OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE! Good on you. This has been another Charley Talk.[/QUOTE]
