Jbedwell Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 04/30/2017 2:56 pm Going through some old coins and noticed this. On the reverse side where the leg meets the breast. Is this a mint error? Thanks for the feedback. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/30/2017 5:03 pm This shows evidence of what looks like deliberate damage along the right rim from 2:30 to 4:30; perhaps this pocked area is related to that. Report this Post to the Staff
Jbedwell Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 04/30/2017 11:31 pm The damage from 2 to 4 is dirt or dark spots not corosion or pitting. The area I am speaking of looks as if it was done during the mint strike. Report this Post to the Staff
Biker Coin Guy Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 05/04/2017 10:49 pm Possibly a practice coin or mistake caused by those people who cut coins to make jewelry. Report this Post to the Staff
