Hi CCF!

Has anyone seen something like this? Between "IN" and the rim of the coin there are deep grooves, and the letters themselves look a little flat. Just curious what it is, if anyone knows what would cause this.

Thanks!

Someone placed an item bearing these imprint designs on top of your coin then applied pressure. Post Mint damage.

This is actually called Die Deterioration, caused by a worn die issue, from striking a ton of planchets at the U.S. Mint.

Thanks! I've just never seen it this pronounced, it's very deep grooving

Happy Hunting!
