Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 10/03/2015 09:10 am There appears to be a deep indentation in that area. If it is indented, than I am thinking the "horn" is metal pushed up by the damage. Examination with a more powerful loop could answer the question. I recently purchased a 60x loop which has really been a big help in answering this kind of question! Report this Post to the Staff

tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 10/04/2015 8:21 pm I would also assume contact mark from something. Probably the same something that dented the rim. It's worth a penny so up to you if you want to keep it I kept a couple weird contact marks before and other examples of heavy die wear and die cracks. But the more I keep the more I go through and get rid of the worthless ones I used to keep hahaha Report this Post to the Staff
