<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 762269, member: 112&quot;]Can&#039;t say for sure if it&#039;s genuine or not. But I find it disturbing that the heavy scratches on the right reverse do not show up on the letters of the motto. But yet they continue on both sides of the letters. This means that those scratches were on the planchet before the coin was struck. And I do not think the mint would have used such a planchet. I certainly know of no other examples which show this characteristic.</p><p><br /></p><p>And the scratches being adjustment marks are pretty much out of the question given the date. It was not a practice employed by the mint at that time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Given that, I wouldn&#039;t touch that coin if it were free.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
