Damaged coin, the coin shows it has been struck by another reeded coin and left an indentation.

Looks like some sort of vise job.

What I'm not seeing. I'm not seeing another coin contact except the affected area, so that rules out a vice issue. It might be an error if the edge came off another coin and was struck into the this coin. This has happened before:  I find interesting how it tails out over the edge of the rim. This might be a struck through error. If it were attempted as a hit between two pieces of wood, then I would expect to see more contact with the face of another coin, this is not present. Note the highest points of the coins devices are not affected. |

Coop's explanation makes good sense and confirms the possibility of being a struck through since there are no distortion of any metal seen on either sides of the trenches and Furthermore the very ends of these trenches come to a pointy sharp and much flatter finish, that I don't believe would be possible to do with a vise!
What an awesome find!

Well if you send it in then perhaps there can be a final word on what you have here. @coop's opinion carries a lot of weight, but I still am struggling with this not being damage.
There are two, not one arcs so that means that two different rims fell off coins and onto this flan before striking. Both arcs are still perfectly round--not slightly mangled as one would expect if the rim came off another coin. Also, both arcs continue on to the rim of the coin.

I agree with those who've concluded that this half dollar was struck through reeding. Most of the time, such reeding represents sheared-off fins, but there are other potential sources that I've written about in Coin World. Error coin writer and researcher.
