Just thought Id share this one. Any of you have funky alien numbers on your coins? The first strike 9 shows underneath. The 2nd strike though, not sure what happened.

@PC, it is a bit odd to find two coins with a hit to the same digit in the date that causes the exact same deformation of the number nine, but I think that is exactly what you have there. Looks a little like the Klingon letter 'P'.

Got a peg-legged R too! Amazing what random chance does to coins.

The thing is though, there is no scratch line on the coin. I've seen plenty of those.
The 9 underneath still shows and has the o at the tip. Then this weird alien 9 is on top.

The Rolling Machine Damage sometimes only affects the higher points on a coin.

I don't think its that though. look at the detail underneath. This is the best photo I got just now. Don't mind the coin looks white. Camera setting. ;)

Just took a hit from west to east, metal pile up. If it was a roller, damage would be more angled CW.
