CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 12:29 pm Looks like someone might have practiced their paintball skills on poor Kennedy. If not paintball, I'm not sure what else. One thing I'm pretty sure of is that it's PMD and not an error. Is the reverse raised in those two areas? -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 1:09 pm CoinFrog! Thank you! I knew it wasn't a paintball but I couldn't think of the word. BB gun is probably more accurate. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 3:07 pm Yes looks like BB indents to me. There should be corresponding but diffuse convex areas on the rev. If they are just flat areas, then more likely these indents are from a hardness tester (e.g. Brinell).
