Titles are Important! * I have looked at this coins deformities and they all are very clean and smooth like it was made this way. Usually a damaged coin from circulation has jagged marks from tearing up the coin. Then again I'm not an expert so my examination could be completely undermined. Maybe someone can shed some more experienced findings on this. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/06/2018 12:43 pm As mentioned they are from damage. How do we know? The edges of the areas are showing a raised area. This is from displacement of the metal after the strike. (kind of like pushed snow because it rises, or leave a wave on the coin) If this happened during the strike, the object that caused an issue (let say a piece of wire) would not leave a raised edge on each side of the struck through. Why? Because the die would keep the field level with the rest of the fields because that area is being shaped also. If something altered the surface of the coin after the strike, we would see a wave caused by the damage. Report this Post to the Staff
