Hinkle Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Would this be considered a die crack on Steele's. I'm not thinking it's a die clash, because the overlay has nothing in that area. I thought it was a scratch until I took a closer look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Don't really think it is a die crack, possibly a slight Lamination. See what others have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 The coin looks polished from the op photos, it could be a lamination or something from the polishing tough to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Bob Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Yeah, I was thinking it might be something that happened during the process of re-plating. Or maybe damage that was plated over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hinkle Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 What you're seeing is a reverse proof. See the mirror shine. Lol I better stop, the way things are going people would really believe that. Esty and youtubers would have a heyday with this coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conder101 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Defect from a replating job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Nub numismatics Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Definitely from the re-plating. Depending on how it was done, it could be any anomalous material that was on the coin before, or it may have been just a terrible job with some extra metal.
