Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 03/16/2022 06:51 am I agree damage, but this is an odd one indeed. More often we see metal "smushed" toward the center of the coin on cents from this time period.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19249 Posts	Posted 03/16/2022 07:01 am Agree with the above--post-strike damage (reshaped metal). Copper is a relatively soft metal and can easily take on interesting shapes when hit/nudged/dinged at different angles. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21655 Posts	Posted 03/16/2022 07:40 am There is no way for that to happen during the striking of the coin so no matter how It got to look like that , it is damage. Hard to say exactly what happened. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/16/2022 11:33 am If it were a die gouge, we would see several examples like that. But just one is usually damage to a coin and not a die issue. I have a date set made up for individual year digit comparisons. Report this Post to the Staff
