coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/16/2020 3:54 pm Looks like two well placed marks incuse on the coin. (damage) Why does it look like a 'B'. Note the two indented areas and the wave caused by the contact. That is pushed aside on the coin. It is not a device, our brains are telling it is something, when it really isn't.

Mems321 New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 08/17/2020 09:34 am I was really hoping it was something cooler than a gouge lol thanks for the help I am definitely new to all of this not even a week into it. It's been hard to research most of the errors I think I have found because they can look so many different ways. I really appreciate the help! Report this Post to the Staff
