I figured it was post mint but the indentions seem to be evenly spaced so I dont know. Is there anything at the mint that could have caused this?

jonathang5565 Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 11/10/2007 1:40 pm My grandmother gave this to me. Dont know how long she had it. at first I thought someone was playing target practice with it but under closer inspection found the indention to be square. I'm pretty sure its post mint but wanted to post to be safe. Image: HPIM0630.jpg 44.22 KB Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/10/2007 2:36 pm I believe they are both post mint damaged. Sometimes circulation gets hazardous if they end up in the shop for a modification. Could have been a punch of some type. Doesn't matter what it was, it is a damaged coin.
