Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 01:22 am @1coi, yes good job correctly identifying this as damage. These square indents can be caused by the diamond-patterned jaws of a vise.

No idea what someone was trying to do, but it's almost certain that this was intentional. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94613 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 11:05 am Definitely intentional damage. as noted by the image above - most likely by the jaws of a vise Collecting since 1972.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 11:14 am Just my observation here, but the coin has a slight bend. I wonder if the person that damaged the coin was trying to flatten it back out. I say this because the deepest of the square indentions are on the rim where the coin is bent, so it looks like the vise was used after the coin was bent. I know when I was a kid, I would have tried to flatten a bent coin "just because!" Only my opinion. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T!

1coiny1 New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 11:33 pm Thank you everyone for sharing your knowledge. Thank you for your warm welcomes. Thank you for the compliment Spence! Yokozuna, yes I notice the coin is bent and thank you for sharing your story. I'll be keeping the coin if for no other reason than it won't suffer anymore damage. Thanks again!
