fplagge Pillar of the Community United States 659 Posts	Posted 10/01/2019 2:00 pm Hi team, Does anyone know whether this ear hole is some kind of recurring phenomenon or not. I am not sure if this occurred at the mint or was tampered with. I'm leaning towards tampered, but you never know. Comments? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/01/2019 2:14 pm Looks like a round/pointed punch, or ice pick or an awl was used on your coin. Note the eagle is pushed outwards on the reverse. So the coin was damaged. PSD Spendable. Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 10/01/2019 5:14 pm Here's a quick overlay of the damaged obverse area over the reverse. It could be a little off because I can't tell the exact alignment of the coin. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

fplagge Pillar of the Community United States 659 Posts	Posted 10/01/2019 6:17 pm Wow! Nice eye, coop. I have the coin "in hand" and still can not see the pushed out eagle. Thanks, everyone P.S. Maybe someone was trying to remove some ear wax¿? Report this Post to the Staff
