Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 12/23/2021 4:27 pm Hmm a little hard for me to say as there is quite a bit of circulation damage. I'm interested to see what others think.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/23/2021 4:27 pm I'm not seeing a chip, although just above the 5 could be one. Or it could have metal separation from being damaged. It looks like the 5 and the 9 has taken a good blow in circulation and has been damaged, post mint. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19198 Posts	Posted 12/23/2021 4:30 pm I'm seeing moved metal resulting from circulation hits. Of course, I don't have the coin in-hand so I can't evaluate under different lighting and sight angles. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/23/2021 6:22 pm Note the thin layer on the top of the '5'? I feel that is from a small struck through debris that is now almost falling on if the top of that device. Report this Post to the Staff
