Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 5:52 pm Well that's a new one! Sideways metal push from a hit, possibly done deliberately and then neatened up by hand? Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21600 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 5:56 pm Looks like it may possibly been deliberately done but in any case, it is damage of some sort. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 5:56 pm huh! pretty cool. but I think that the only answer to this is the one Frog just gave. Collecting since 1972.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19144 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 6:05 pm The BIE phenomena may at work here as well--at least in part. That, combined with a hit. Very interesting. Edited by ijn1944 06/17/2022 6:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Garbanzo Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 6:25 pm You can see that the E is there but only lightly. Report this Post to the Staff
Garbanzo Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 6:28 pm I really cant see anyone doing this purposely. Why would they go to so much trouble and for what reason, only for someone to find it in their change. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21600 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 6:40 pm It doesn't really matter why or how it was done, the fact that it could not have happened during the striking of the coin makes it damage, intentional or not. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 8:20 pm That's the simple truth. Report this Post to the Staff
Garbanzo Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 06/17/2022 8:50 pm Gotcha, thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/18/2022 02:13 am Damage is damage however it's done, in this case long after it left the mint. Report this Post to the Staff
