<p>[QUOTE=&quot;toned_morgan, post: 8621184, member: 97258&quot;]This is really strange, the rim doesn&#039;t look sharp all the way around on the obverse, which could be a sign of post-mintage alteration, but the surface looks MS and normal, except for those circular hairlines on the second obverse photo. Normally, the rims are bevelled up before the planchet is struck, so if this was a heavy greaser, the rims wouldn&#039;t have been affected, and that goes for anything struck-through, except something solid that could have damaged the rims as it was struck. This leads me to think that it could be a capped die strike that somehow missed the lettering at the top, but still destroyed the main details and smushed the rim.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a capped die example, and you can see that the rim is smushed and not sharp. Unfortunately though, you can also see that the reverse text is visible, which yours doesn&#039;t have.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1515555[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>After this ramble of thoughts, I&#039;m as confused as you... let&#039;s see what the other say. If it&#039;s still unclear after, this might even be something worth sending to grade, just in case it&#039;s a big find[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
