ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 05/20/2012 2:34 pm No rhyme or reason apparent, this is simply a damaged coin. Perhaps, someone once wanted to see if they could punch a hole with a single blow? Report this Post to the Staff
3_Cent_Silver Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 05/20/2012 2:35 pm It looks like a Die Cud to me. I would doubt that this would happen if it was a counterfeit unless they specifically added it. It looks genuine to me! Cool coin! Report this Post to the Staff

mackwork Pillar of the Community United States 652 Posts	Posted 05/20/2012 2:46 pm There's a corresponding dent on the obverse that would account for the raised portion (with increased wear)on the L on the reverse. Damaged post mint by someone/something. Report this Post to the Staff
