michaelshane1 New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 07/12/2022 1:58 pm I realize this might be nothing but any ideas on what might cause the 7 to look like this? I tried using Acetone to clean it up a little first before taking pictures. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96580 Posts	Posted 07/12/2022 6:02 pm Yep, the 7 took a direct hit and pushing the metal down and to the left a bit. it is though, just damage after it left the mint.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/12/2022 6:20 pm Gumball machines alter the devices at that angle. Note the affected area is not exactly parallel to the rim, but affected at the same angles on these examples and your coins example. Thus I feel it was altered in a Gumball Machine. (Also the time period is also correct for this to happen) Report this Post to the Staff
