The coin is worn and struck with PMD but I am wondering about the object next to his forehead! It appears to be a piece of wire possibly struck into the planchet during mint strike. Look carefully and you can see material to the right of the object almost like die chips but I think it is surface material caused by the object moving during the strike. Let me know your thoughts.

Yes, looks like a reeded edge struck the coin from right to left--dug into copper surface and pushed up a reeded 'pattern'. Might be a chunk of reeded edge that remained in the striking chamber. Curious. Others will be along to weigh-in. Report this Post to the Staff

I also see another reed hit just below the 'T' Pretty cool looking hit. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
