One ugly coin for sure], but very odd marks, Next to Liberty, its dipped, with 3 horizontal ridges, on Licoln's arm/shoulder its dipped, and where I indicated with red, there is an edge like a rim, and finally the date area is also dipped. The Rev, also has a gouged out areas on the top like another coin rim may have done it..Opinions? Report this Post to the Staff
