Thedeathtouch Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 09/07/2016 9:06 pm looks like damage IMO. Someone may have barely started drilling a big hole into it. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/07/2016 9:30 pm Kind of a rotary tooth brush with stiff bristles or a Dremel tool? (whatever it was, it had to be small) I'm kind of surprised they didn't go through the plating. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 09/07/2016 9:59 pm I'm thinking that if something rubbed the LIBERTY that smooth with the field, the plating would have to be showing. Hmm.... Report this Post to the Staff
ter215 Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 09/07/2016 10:24 pm i think cwb is right , you couldn't use a drill or tooth brush? on them zinc dates without taking off the layer, look at liberty - without a doubt you would see the zinc ? ..had to happen during the press ? ... I'm no expert though...maybe the person useing the press put his sleeve over it ? ...hahahahaha .. ...thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 09/08/2016 05:05 am I agree with PSD. You can see where the field right up along the bust is not affected by the damage. Report this Post to the Staff

dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 09/08/2016 07:59 am post stride damage - yes...but it does make a pretty "cool" looking coin... Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 09/08/2016 08:41 am Dryer Coins can get beat down like this without exposing the Zinc, maybe something similar happened to this coin. The reverse doesn't look quite right either, but the top right of the obverse appears okay, so maybe it was protected. Report this Post to the Staff
