Cookinwegaz New Member United Kingdom 30 Posts	Posted 01/16/2017 3:27 pm You'll have to zoom into see the triangles on the edges there's two I thought it could have been done in a press but to find another exactly the same is rare to me Report this Post to the Staff
twinkinator Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 01/16/2017 9:01 pm I would say that is post mint damage, and someone decided to drill a hole in it. No such coin exists in that condition from the mint. Hope this helps! Report this Post to the Staff
Cookinwegaz New Member United Kingdom 30 Posts	Posted 01/17/2017 02:22 am It sort of does but the hole isn't completely drilled all the way through and the two tiny triangles are perfect in shape and exactly the same size and to find another exactly the same with exactly the same marks in a completely different place it makes me wonder at first I thought someone may have used a punch of some sort thanks for your help Report this Post to the Staff
