Just wandering what exactly is going on with this coin? What is the correct terms and did it happen at mint or is it post mint? It is very smoothe when touching as in I can't feel any of the lines or scratches. And the rim is silverish. Why are there multiple directions the lines are going? And the face is missing in spots along with letters
The damage is all post mint. Looks like it spent some time on a parking lot getting ground into the pavement. The silverish color is the expose zinc core.
Interesting! Also, is the part of his face missing due to being scratched also or post mint damage? All of the lines are so straight and parallel that it makes it unusual for it to be damaged from being scraped
