JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21646 Posts	Posted 02/03/2021 08:53 am To me it looks like someone has deliberately tried to create a double clip. You can see what appear to be file marks plus under the Y in Liberty and the D in Dollar, the rims are wrong for a clip Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 02/03/2021 09:12 am I agree with jimmyD, uneven jagged edges, visible scrape marks and flattening,not a clip. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/03/2021 11:44 am If the Reed Marks are on the deepest areas of the edge, it may have been altered. But the scraping screams altered coin. The ends of the affected areas should have a taper, which is also missing, not weakness on the devices on that area. Looks like a damaged coin to me. Note the edges of the clipped area on the rim? Report this Post to the Staff
MOS0239 Pillar of the Community 1110 Posts	Posted 02/03/2021 1:00 pm Can't really see someone altering it, then throwing it back into circulation. Maybe the rims were crushed be some type of equipment or machine. I'll go out on a limb here and say; in hand it's legit. Oh well, thanks for feedback gents! Just for the grins of it, I might throw this one in with the next batch of ANACS "special offer" submissions. I'd like to see what shakes out.
