for your opinions on whaddup with this coin--
the rim is intact, no evidence of blunt force trauma, no evidence of being abraded --- copper plating not penetrated, far too much missing to be a greaser---- could it be--- (OH, NO!!!!--- not another Rick, Marty, and the team scam theory:BangHead::BangHead:)

can't we all just get along......... and agree ----yes, could it be: a Capped Die Strike:dontknow:???:happysmiley:

I thought it was a trick title to the thread, but I see 197... something. Don't see a fourth digit.

I tend to think it's a capped die.

It can be whatever you want it to be it does look like a strike issue going on

I need to read more. On odd coins I send them to be graded if they look good enough. It doesn't happen very often.

I personally think it was struck through an extremely thick layer of grease and metal. The substance was forgiving enough to keep from having a strong strike on the reverse.
