<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheBigH, post: 291395, member: 9866&quot;]Well, I think you&#039;re thinking of when the soft grease gets struck through and caused a sort of shiny/grainy appearance on the surface. It seems quite common on the 2007 nickels and Idaho quarters. I have encountered numerous, and spent them as I have little interest in those. The sort of thing that occurs on a coin like yours is entirely different. On coins with missing design features, it is usually caused by grease getting into the lettering and designs on the coin, hardening, and then causing said letters or design elements to appear weak. I have several that I have found myself. They are quite interesting, but not all that uncommon. Of course, there are a few other things it could possibly be, but you must look at it from my perspective. I adhere to Occam&#039;s razor (not sure of the spelling), which tells me that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. Of course, I hope the theory does not apply here, and your coin is more than I think it is. A second opinion never hurts! Well, without writing you another book, I&#039;d like to say good luck, and keep up with the finds![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
