Spence Moderator United States 34424 Posts	Posted 07/11/2022 7:31 pm @new, it sure looks like damage to me. Is the underlying zinc core visible at all?

Newbielearning New Member 24 Posts	Posted 07/11/2022 7:36 pm I thought that when I looked at it too. Its not, flat or cut into the coin its raised kind of like the letters are which is why I questioned what it was. I did compare it to another 2000 and there is nothing on the others I came across. Its odd which it why it stood out. Report this Post to the Staff
Newbielearning New Member 24 Posts	Posted 07/11/2022 7:38 pm Hope that made sense, oddly placed comma so let me try that again. It's not dug into the coin or inverted in. Its raised off the coin like the lettering is. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34424 Posts	Posted 07/11/2022 7:39 pm Ok yes the bottom mark is raised, but are the top and middles ones too? I was thinking that the metal from those top three might have been deposited on that bottom.

Newbielearning New Member 24 Posts	Posted 07/11/2022 8:04 pm Hope I did this right. Sorry it may be a little fuzzy, still learning. Now it kind of looks like damage. What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff
