JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21589 Posts	Posted 08/25/2021 6:41 pm to the CCF It looks like the reeding from another coin coming in contact with it. Coop beat me to it by a minute. Edited by JimmyD 08/25/2021 6:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Lewy New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 08/25/2021 6:54 pm Thanks to you all for this. I got excited about the first one I found, then I found it on some others different years and mints so I thought it must be just damage but it is interesting to know how/from what.
