The slightly thicker edge makes me think of a Dryer Coin or it could have been spooned. On a side note... always handle coins by the edge. Never touch the face of a coin as it can cause fingerprints and ruin the value of a collectable coin. White cotton gloves are a must for collecting coins.

This is definitely just damage. PSD (Post Strike Damage). I suspect something mechanical caused this damage to occur. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
