Spence Moderator United States 34431 Posts	Posted 05/15/2021 8:49 pm Yes something has been done to this Shilling after it left the mint. The diamondplate pattern of damage to the rim suggests that it was gripped in a machinist's vice, but I'm not sure that this necessarily has anything to do with the extra piece of coin stuck onto the obv.
