<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 2987293, member: 73983&quot;]This is a very interesting piece.&nbsp; I know what it looks like to me, but why on earth was it done?&nbsp; It looks like someone used a belt driven sander and left that mark intentionally on the die.&nbsp; That or there was a minor lamination on the die surface that was peeling away.&nbsp; A mint worker then cut away the thin material and polished the area up to put the die back into production.&nbsp; You can tell that what ever it was, it&#039;s a place on the die that had metal removed as it left that area of the coin with a raised surface.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
