apcol258 Valued Member United States 202 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 10:16 am This coin was purchased a while back to fill an empty hole in an album. I got it at a discount because of the damage and didn't think much of it until I recently stumbled across a completed auction of a cancelled foreign coin and couldn't help but think that the markings looked similar to those on my coin. Is this PMD or could it be some type of error? Either way, does any one have an idea what may have caused it? Here is the link to the foreign coin auction with similar markings: https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=l...38&lot=35149 Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

apcol258 Valued Member United States 202 Posts	Posted 05/10/2020 07:29 am Seems like there is a pretty strong consensus on a vice as being used to cause the damage. Thanks to all for the comments and help. Report this Post to the Staff
