I'm 99% sure this is just damage but unsure what the cause of it would be. 1% wishful thinking its a strike through haha. Either way I think its neat looking and plan on keeping it. The weight is in line with what it should be of 3.04 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm thinking that the front is also somewhat damaged. Also, glad to see your improved photography!

ChasP New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 01/29/2020 11:55 pm I like the theory however there would need to be a contact point on the front of the coin or electric transfer is not possible just saying Report this Post to the Staff
