CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 01/07/2017 3:50 pm From what I am seeing, it just looks like it took some hits. Your's in that area look like a B from the larger image, put there are other dings and scratches on the bell as well, just not patterned like these ones. Looks pretty cool though. Some experts will be here to reply for your as well. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 01/07/2017 4:00 pm You can see that something, or more precisely two somethings pressed hard into the surface after it was minted and in circulation. You can see where that pressure pushed the metal away from the two "holes" which formed a ridge, most easily seen to the right, of those indents. It's just damage. Report this Post to the Staff
