mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted Yesterday 8:08 pm Looks like it got hit with some kind of flying metal projectile from some sort of violent slingshot (not gonna say what it really got hit by, a rather too sensitive subject for some...) So yes, a severe case of PMD whichever way it happened Report this Post to the Staff

This created a raised exit hole on the reverse. Then someone crudely plugged the hole. Another example of the kinds of brutal damage people inflict on their coins. Report this Post to the Staff
