USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 04/07/2018 4:49 pm Yes. It looks like the 6 took a hit. The hit/damage happened after the coin left the mint, PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 04/07/2018 5:39 pm I agree that the number 6 has been flattened slightly. That mark to the right of the 6 seems odd to me. Not thinking a die chip based on location, so perhaps a plating bubble? I see a couple others in front of Abe's face.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/07/2018 6:35 pm Contact mark on 6. Die Deterioration on right side of 6. The black spot is a stain. (Carbon spots are only found on copper planchets not on zinc coins) just a normal coin. Report this Post to the Staff
