I was recently roll hunting when I came upon this coin. The error I saw was shocking as it appears to be a mirrored image of the location where Kennedy was hit and looks strikingly like an entry wound. I realize the morbid nature of this error but I wanted to get some opinions on it. Thanks in advance.

Looks like it was hit with a sharp end of an object. Just a damage.

@chase007 I dont believe it to be damage. The edges of the error are crisp yet smooth and appears to me to be a struck through error. I will try and post a better photo. Seems original to me!

Given the many scratches and hits on the small area of one side of the coin that you've shown, it just looks like a deeper hit.

Probably damage most likely.
