Oh the glare!

It took a minute, but I see that the top of the 8 is misshaped.

My best guess is that it took one well-placed hit to get that way. I can't think of how that could have happened during production.

I agree, looks like first 0 is mishapened also from a hit.

They were fine -- just shiny.

I struggle like crazy trying to get decent photos. I use a USB Microscope with built in lights and they make me nuts.

Anyway, it's just a damaged coin but ....Good eye for noticing and it never hurts to ask.
