Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 06/23/2021 7:25 pm I'm with you @silverworf, especially since these two areas are directly opposite each other. Maybe the flattening on the rev rim occurred as something pressed on the obv rim and Abe's head?

RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 06/23/2021 7:34 pm Thanks silverwolf and Spence. I was thinking struck through because I'm not seeing any moved metal Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/23/2021 7:34 pm I agree. the coin was damaged after the strike. Not a mint error. Note on the reverse the affected area at 6:30. If it were a mint error, that area would be normal. It is affected. Its a good thing it is a common coin. Not something that happened on a variety coin. Report this Post to the Staff
RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 06/23/2021 7:41 pm Thanks coop. I was wondering why the reverse was also affected. Thought I had something here I guess not Report this Post to the Staff
