Gary0920 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 08/09/2021 7:37 pm I was wondering if the damage marks on the face could be from the mint possibly the edging machine and the reverse looks like a possible double die everyone check it out let me know what you think thanks * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title.

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 08/10/2021 10:21 am I'm thinking intentional railroad tracks by someone placing another Half Dollar on edge of that coin and hitting the opposite side with a hammer . Why , I have no idea . Report this Post to the Staff

The reeding is applied by the collar that holds the planchet in place during the striking of the coin. There is no way that it could create those marks. The marks are PMD.

Intentional damage to the obverse. Looking at the mirrored surface, I think that this coin may be an SMS coin to boot... Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1491 Posts	Posted 08/10/2021 4:31 pm I was thinking SMS coin, too. Is it still in the original packaging? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/10/2021 5:24 pm The reeds are in the collar edge. The planchet is squeezed into the collar and the reeds are done all at the time of the strike. Only coins would show just an area that could be hammer/dropped onto the surface of the coin.
