Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 966 Posts	Posted 05/26/2023 10:35 am This 1930 Indian Head nickel was a gift from pop-pop, and has been in my coin collection since the mid-1980s. The metal on the coin is gouged and thin at the area of damage. I always assumed it was post-strike, and just got stuck in a machine or intentionally cut into a screwdriver or something. Now when I look at it, I can see that the coin details are struck into the slope as the metal gets thinner, and the edge diameter is perfectly circular. If the nickel had been smashed with something, the design would be deformed and the edge would be uneven. Maybe ground on a machine? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 81242 Posts	Posted 05/26/2023 3:15 pm Agree, just damage, and probably deliberate. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 12935 Posts	Posted 05/26/2023 3:17 pm Yes, post-strike damage--likely intentional. Interesting look to it. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community Topic Starter United States 966 Posts	Posted 05/26/2023 4:32 pm Definitely a possibility. Maybe the artist was clearing metal around the head, and accidentally clipped the nose tip, then discarded the coin. It does seem unlikely that a damaged planchet could magically land in the machine so that the missing material was so close to the face without actually touching it. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Bedrock of the Community United States 22229 Posts	Posted 05/26/2023 5:26 pm what is the weight? The reverse is damaged and flattened out behind the damaged on the obverse - I wonder if it were crushed a but as well - it does appear bent a little. Collecting since 1972.
