ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19251 Posts	Posted 06/12/2022 4:49 pm My first reaction is circulation flattening or a blunt force 'mush' hit. Suggest posting full, large and sharp images of the obverse and reverse--and perhaps another shot of IN taken from a different perspective. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Second, I agree that the word IN has taken a hit which has flattened the bottom of the letters in a stepwise fashion. This didn't happen during the striking of this coin.
