Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/26/2020 05:49 am I too think it's Post Strike Damage. It would be almost impossible for an uncirculated coin to look like this without someone noticing and saving it as an error. It looks like it may have circulated for years both before and after it was damaged. Do you happen to know the weight? 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
