<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 77855, member: 4350&quot;]Hi,</p><p>Yep!&nbsp; over abraded or over polished die.&nbsp; I&#039;d be interested in seeing an obverse scan as well.&nbsp; Using 1983 cents for an example, I&#039;ve seen &quot;tons&quot;&nbsp; of them that have Lincoln&#039;s neck and the front portion of his coat missing due to die polishing.&nbsp; It sometimes happens that dies clash imparting details from the obverse die onto the reverse die and vice versa.&nbsp; Deep polishing of dies such as the polishing probably done on the die that struck your five-cent pieces can be the results of attempts to remove the clash marks after two dies come together with nothing in between them.</p><p>Have Fun,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
