JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21609 Posts	Posted 10/18/2021 12:04 pm to the CCF Agree, not an error, just damage. Looks like someone has tried to cut it with something. No extra value for damage. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/18/2021 3:52 pm While the mark is incuse, note on the edges before that? You can see a wave from the metal being pushed from one area to another area. Edited by coop 10/18/2021 4:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/18/2021 7:39 pm The important point to take home is the identifying the wave of moved metal. That way you will be able to spot this to identify that the coin was altered post strike. That is the lesson learned on your coin. The angle of the lighting helps show this.
