<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 223098, member: 112&quot;]Sorry for the delay in responding gang, I was kinda busy with a heart surgeon. But that&#039;s all finished now and hopefully I can get back to normal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, no Zane I do not think the coin was whizzed, I think it&#039;s just plain damage. That might be a minor planchet flaw on the between the eye and mouth, but the rest of it - I don&#039;t think so. And I think that wood grain effect on this coin is as fake as $3 bill. </p><p><br /></p><p>But let&#039;s look at the coin, I blew the pics up. First of all look up by WE TRUST, I think it&#039;s pretty obvious that those are scratches. Now look at the surface of the coin in the lighter colored areas - see how rough the surface is, especially on the bottom portion. But the bow tie is pretty beat up too as is the section under LIBERTY. But look at the adjoining sections, the surface is smooth there. Now look at the rim, you can see fine scratches all the way around, but especially on the right side of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the reverse - scratches are visible on the rim here as well, but it is ONE CENT that is most obvious. Every single letter has small gouges taken out of the high parts. The rest of the reverse legends have the scratches too, as the fields to a lesser extent - and even the wheat stalks show them. </p><p><br /></p><p>And if that isn&#039;t enough to show that the coin isn&#039;t unc, then the wear and flat spots on both the obv and rev should.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
