CCMorgan New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted Today 2H 35M ago Can I get some help figuring out what kind of damage this is? I was hoping it was just a very tone die clash coin... Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21580 Posts	Posted Today 2H 13M ago Sometimes unless you were there at the time, it is nearly impossible to say what caused the damage. It shouldn't really matter what the cause was though, it is still damage and devaluates the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19104 Posts	Posted Today 1H 50M ago Post-strike damage, certainly. I'd think fire/heat damage from a ways in the past. Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10470 Posts	Posted Today 1H 5M ago Weigh it if you can. If proper weight then can be fire damage - if light then acid damage. Anyway just damage - PMD. Only worth the silver value (bullion) - $5.25 Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73553 Posts	Posted Today 8M ago Environmental damage of some sort. Because it's 90% silver, it's still worth its melt value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
