<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LostDutchman, post: 574618, member: 16994&quot;]Frank, </p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I thought bezel rather then die deterioration was the fact that the area on the obverse between the stars on the right looks like a scratch or just a heavier &quot;rub&quot; area rather then raised as I would expect to see with die deterioration. Die deterioration on these coins was once described to me as having a &quot;pie crust&quot; look to it. This means that it is usually not uniform in its distance from the edge of the coin where as a bezel will almost always leave marks the same distance from the edge. I&#039;m still leaning more towards a bezel. I am definitely interested as to what the TPG will say about this one.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Matt[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
