amljac New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 12/23/2021 11:54 am I came across one of these coins and blew it off as human damage. Months later, I came across another 1 and became curious. Does anyone have any insight? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/23/2021 12:59 pm Just face value coins when they are damaged. Just because they are different, doesn't improve the value of them. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/14/2022 11:44 pm Who knows? Maybe this damage was done by the same person, either from boredom or someone wishing to create errors artificially. We've seen both here on CCF. Report this Post to the Staff
