Will do.

Someone, can't remember the name, mentioned in another post that he/she blacked out all but 1 or 2 of the scope LEDs so I will try that in hopes of better pictures.

Not sure how quickly I will be able to update. Busy day

Most aspects make me lean to pre 1830 (hand made) but then I get stuck on the curve to it. The curve from being removed long ago suggest machine made.

A month ago I was freeing up some space by going through storage boxes that have not been touched in about 10 years. As I was going through a wedding box I noticed a tin still containing the items she had on her during the wedding (an old tradition - something new, something blue, and something borrowed). The "something new" caught my eye. Her new item was a 2014 penny. I grabbed my loop and thought I could barely make out very minor notching so I put it in a sleeve for a proper inspection later on.

When I looked at it yesterday I instantly forgot about possible notching because I saw a raised J.

Die chip top left edge of shield. Vertical die gouge right of shield between carbon spot and banner.

West of eye is J from JFM and is raised.

North of ear lobe shows E from E PLURIBUS and is incused.

I think I can claim I am confident that there are 5 clashed letters. Seems to be at least a few more but not as distinct as the others. Unfortunately, my digital microscope recently stopped zooming so getting magnified image + light angle to show details =

Thats why I am not showing all 5 yet.

The placement of the letters would suggest a multiple floating clash?

@ Yokozuna Thanks for the over lay

Before posting this design berm, trails, and design creep came to mind.

Berm - seemed the least likely due to appearance

Trails - seemed most likely until I magnified then I saw that each trial has ridges perpendicular to the trails direction

Design creep - with a design this busy maybe it presents differently but I feel like the peripheral letters would have to be at least approaching the rim

So if they are trails due to DD, what causes the ridges/hatched appearance?

So my first reflex here is to say "I'll keep you in my prayers" but I do not want to break any rules. Is that acceptable or not? or maybe "Is it ok if I keep you in my prayers?"

Heat illness is what made me throw in the towel working at AT&T. I love the summer time but only look at it longingly through the window for about 2 months during the summer. High temps + high humidity from gulf of Mexico =

@spence and brand - I will get a better close up of the area. I just realized my pics do not show the smallest detail of the suspected clash/trails. It almost looks like faint lathe lines.

Obv has die chip where nose meets upper lip.

Rev has a wave pattern that runs the length of her left arm. Is that from polishing?

Never thought about that. I guess I have heard it specific to pennies for so long it never crossed my mind that it could apply to other denominations.

I'd guess its a fountain coin or sat in the cup holder of a service truck for a while.

With a cup holder serving as a catch-all spot for many of us, in a service vehicle it's very normal for it to have steel washers and the like. I have come across several coins with heavy surface rust before when I moved to a new service vehicle.

I had a good laugh from the irony when I found this one.
