Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 12/08/2022 02:41 am The coin seems to be showing 2 different 'U' shaped points of damage. The deepest is the one on the obverse that has caused corresponding raised area on the reverse. The same is true for the reverse 'U' shaped cut which has causes a corresponding raised area on the obverse. These two areas of damage cross just above the ear of the Indian and just at the bottom of the NE of ONE on the reverse. I have seen damage it the past like this that was caused by the swivel pads on a clamp or similar type of tool. I did an animated overlay of the coin to help see the alignment of the incuse and raised areas. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Edited by Yokozuna 12/08/2022 02:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/08/2022 10:56 am Damage to a coin is not a premium for them. Value goes down on circulation damage on a coin. Report this Post to the Staff
