Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 11/28/2020 9:04 pm @tippy, can you please confirm that this arc is actually a depression in the surface of the coin as opposed to surface staining?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/28/2020 9:10 pm Also this could be damage to the coin. Another cent could have been pressed onto the surface of this coin, using a vice? 1. Is the coin bent at all? 2. Are the rims flatten at the two ends of the affected rims? 3. Is there any evidence of a push outwards on the reverse opposite this area? Here is an overlay to see what opposite area could be affected by a push out on the reverse: Report this Post to the Staff
