1853 Standing Liberty 25c

[winterhawk]

Any possibility this is from an abraded obv. die?

[onecent1909]

So an abraded die will leave scratches that are raised on the coin, not sunk into the coin. yours look sunk in and scratched. so no not an abraded die.

I should've realized that, post mint tooling I suppose?

Or some one may have attempted to clean it many years ago.
