Spence Moderator United States 34431 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 8:34 pm @E&V nailed it--most likely the edge of another coin hit Coolidge right on the chin causing those parallel dents.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 9:12 pm It is were nailed by another coin the edge would leave a mark with the letters leaving a raised device. (The edges devices are incuse) Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34431 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 9:17 pm Quote: The edges devices are incuse Perhaps for the Coolidge $1 coins, but I was thinking more of coins with a reeded edge. You are right @coop, that what specifically caused this damage is unknown--at best we are offering our opinions.

Occirats Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 10:38 pm I got this pic..looks like it might have Reed Marks ( not smooth on the incluse surface).. First thought was how could a coin possibly mark another coin so deep ...then I looked at the coin with just a little magnifier and realized its not as bad as the scope makes it look..You guys know what you are looking at.. So I learned that..Thanks guys Edited by Occirats 05/08/2018 10:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
