Dearborn Moderator United States 99975 Posts	Posted 12/14/2022 5:45 pm The leading edge of the 'dent' looks to have been pealed away like a lamination.. Inside the 'dent' I can still see the denticles around the rim. I hope others will chime in on this one.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Sap Moderator Australia 16894 Posts	Posted 12/15/2022 02:41 am It's hard to say. It appears to be post-strike damage, as there is faint and blurry detail from the original strike on the damaged surface; the denticles pointed out by Dearborn, in particular. It may be a delamination. Or it may be post-mint damage: somebody attached something to the coin (or attached the coin to something) and tore it off afterwards. The amount of wear the coin shows indicates to me that it's post-mint damage, on the theory that "if it came out of the mint looking like that, surely somebody would have noticed". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Dorado Bedrock of the Community Canada 24885 Posts	Posted 12/22/2022 07:09 am What about: Pre-strike delamination ? Edited by Dorado 12/22/2022 07:18 am Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7974 Posts	Posted 12/22/2022 10:55 am I am in the delamination camp. Followed by circulation wear. Though the deepest part is so dark it almost looks like a different metal (I assume the weight checks out?) Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/23/2022 2:37 pm Looks like a post strike lamination issue that peeled off the coin when it the metal de-laminated and fell off the coin. Slight interest in these. Lowers the silver value a bit. Report this Post to the Staff
