Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 12/22/2021 9:16 pm An edge pic might highlight the bend in the coin. With that said, this coin would have been struck flat and so has bent in the last 100+ years of circulation.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 12/23/2021 01:05 am Spence is correct. Better photos will help. I see a lite deformation in the circumference of the coin. Due to the year could be from the die. Report this Post to the Staff
sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 12/23/2021 01:18 am Welcome to CCF. Looks like a bent coin, which happens after mintage when its in the wild. Definitely keep it if it has meaning for you. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/23/2021 01:26 am I've never seen a non-manmade coin! Kidding aside, I agree with all of the above. You have a coin that's over a hundred years old piece of history! The bend hurts it's value, but if it means something to you, it's priceless! Report this Post to the Staff
