Dearborn Moderator United States 97904 Posts	Posted 06/14/2022 7:51 pm My first thought was a dremel tool to trace the bust - then I saw the reverse and confirmed it. If not a dremel tool then a engraving tool Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/15/2022 10:35 am Looks like someone took one of those very small tiny screw drivers and altered the bust. It was not struck like that. Intentional damage to the coin to make it look different, but is just damage to the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24177 Posts	Posted 06/15/2022 12:15 pm Yes, I am the picture police. Remember people have to open these topics on mobile too. There is nothing you can see in 5 pics that you can't see in just the first and last. I am just trying to make it more efficient for everyone. And no, that's not all I came to say, if you look I answered your question. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
