coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/26/2016 11:43 am I was looking for any reverse flattening on the central devices. It maybe an altered coin? Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 12/26/2016 12:08 pm Looks like a hollow rod was smacked into the center. The reverse photo would help us know if that is true. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/26/2016 3:29 pm I was thinking two sizes of shell casings. That would make the lines in a circle incuse on the coin. Probably the larger one was applied first, then the smaller one centered. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/28/2016 12:09 am The reverse highest points show a slight amount of contact that flattens them a bit. But if they used a spent round, the round would absorb most of the hit to the coin and bend. That is what I'm seeing on your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Druemayhew New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 12/28/2016 12:26 am Can you explain why the circular area is taller Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/28/2016 10:05 am The metal movement to make the reduced areas lower, made the area next to that rise. The highest point is the normal profile of the bust. But the metal movement raised the internal areas higher. Report this Post to the Staff
