<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 4786039, member: 112"]I'm not sure what caused those marks. I say that because, at least to my eyes, they appear to be incuse. And if they were on the die and produced incuse marks on the coin then they would have to be raised on the die. And the only way that could happen would be if they were incuse marks on the hub. And that, well, that's pretty dang unusual. And if they were on the hub then most of the dies from that date/mint would all have the same marks. Which means all coins from those dies would have them too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now since I've never seen marks like those on that date/mint coin before, it seems highly unlikely that's what they are. But at the same time it also seems highly unlikely that those marks, given their location and look, are post strike damage. Which is why I'm not sure what caused those marks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
