MrRick Valued Member United States 122 Posts	Posted 12/04/2008 6:10 pm I posted this in another thread but probably fits better here. I have a 1923SWL with a piece of metal missing from the face. I've looked at it very closely & it's not a drill mark. It almost look like a bubble had formed or something. Have you seen this before in this or any other coin? & if so, how does it happen? Thanks http://s393.photobucket.com/albums/...t=1923WL.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

It's so faint that you can't see it holding it in your hand. Thanks. Why didn't I think of shooting at a 1923 Walking Liberty?! Edited by MrRick 12/04/2008 8:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/05/2008 10:01 am I think it was done with a nail or small pin tapped a little. I hate it when people mess with coins that ruin their future. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/05/2008 11:04 am Most likely a drill, punch or some other tool - but definitely is not an error of any kind. It's damage to the coin which renders it worth its melt value in silver. Too bad. Report this Post to the Staff
