Had to look close at that one. If a person was a not looking at a show at the coin raw it would never have been noticed. Any reason why that placement?

Yup, well placed and hidden!

Love those CC's!

Reminds me of the trade dollar that sold last year in an HA auction, straight graded in PCGS plastic with no mention of the chopmark that was neatly hidden in the folds of liberty's dress. I can't find the link but I believe that was also a 74-CC.

It took me awhile and then I finally found it....it was like playing the 'Hidden Object' game when I was a kid.

I love how even the Heritage cataloger missed it, or "accidentally" overlooked it.

I know it's intentional vs. unintentional. But is this really significantly different that a heavy contact mark? I'm thinking of those examples where the reeded edge of one coin presses into the surface of another coin. At some point it's splitting hairs, isn't it? In fact, check out the obverse field above her knee.

Bought at melt without much thought. Surprised to find this later...

I'm glad they had jumbo pictures.
