Dearborn Moderator United States 97904 Posts	Posted 07/22/2022 7:52 pm that is damage on the rim under the date area - notice how it bulges out. Looks like a strike through on the bust and the 1 of the date. (I'm not seeing any bulging out on the reverse for this area.) But the rim is all damage. Collecting since 1972.

Muncie Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 07/22/2022 8:19 pm So this is a strike through? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 07/22/2022 9:36 pm @mun, thank you for adding these other pics. I suspect that the flat spot on the obv lines up with the bulge on the rev. This "smushing" of the metal means that it is just damage.
