RCarv Valued Member 200 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 06:34 am The D on lincions coat looks like a D mint mark.. Prefect size to.. Also I'm guessing all the other craziness is the Die clash? Weight, diameter and planchet size thickness is normal.. Edited by RCarv 04/26/2021 07:03 am Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21646 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 06:51 am I don 't see anything that can't be attributed to damage. A die clash would be raised, not incuse and the mint mark is part of the striking die, it is not struck separately. PMD Report this Post to the Staff
RCarv Valued Member 200 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 07:07 am I don't understand how any penny could take a blow like that and have zero reverse damage unless it was fixed it place, also don't understand how the deep Gouches just stop with no trial.. only way that could have happen is with a machine tooling of some sort..

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19230 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 07:27 am Agree, post strike damage. Perhaps the majority of the hits/dings were somewhat lateral in origin--not 'straight-down', blunt force driven. Also have Die Deterioration on the obverse as evidenced by the raised Ridge Ring. Others will be along to share their perspectives. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34431 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 07:35 am Yes that all looks like damage to me. As to the lack of flattening on the side opposite to the gouges, it could be an oblique hit as @ijn mentions or even something so mundane as the other side was resting on something that had some give to it, like leather.
