lainmejia Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 11/05/2020 11:51 am At the beginning I was thinking the same. But I saw an small die chip over one of the deep edges. (Pictures No 8 and 12).As you can see in the pictures. The die chip still there. Report this Post to the Staff

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 11/05/2020 12:17 pm you can see the scrape in the closeup. Reverse and rim took a hit, just displaced metal. There would be no die chips on the area in question, being that if it was indeed done prior to strike, it wouldn't have come in contact with the die, if that makes sense.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/05/2020 12:39 pm IF there was an issue with the collar, it could leave something there, but the die is not affecting that area of a coin. The collar does. If they are flat, then they maybe have been retained inside the coin/collar. But if they are raised, they are moved metal: Report this Post to the Staff

lainmejia Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 11/05/2020 11:01 pm The precise symmetry of the shapes...can be caused by any accidental or human intended PMD?... Edited by lainmejia 11/05/2020 11:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
lainmejia Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 11/06/2020 9:09 pm I forgot to post these other pictures of the edge in the reverse side. Edited by lainmejia 11/06/2020 9:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 11/06/2020 9:51 pm To me those pictures make it look more post mint. Odd looking rim to say the least. Possibly a vise job. Report this Post to the Staff
