<p>[QUOTE="non_cents, post: 1851499, member: 30970"]The only possible explanation for the general thing you see here would be a full obverse brockage uniface strike. That would completely obliterate the non-beockage side, leaving it blank. Your coin is not blank. The other side retains remnants of a normal strike (I can see parts of the LIBERTY headband remaining), meaning that this coin was struck normally, and subsequently damaged after it left the mint. The damage that side of the coin sustained is consistent with being laid on a flat surface and hit with another object.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
