Initially I assumed tool damage post mint but after some research to me it looks more like a die break leading to Cud (steps) and maybe other stuff? I'm not real experienced with errors or varieties in this nature so figured I'd get some thoughts from the community. Either way it looks interesting and Jefferson with no mouth is a little freaky.

If it were a Die Cud, it would be on the outside edge of the coin and raised higher than the rim area on your coin. It is damage as mentioned. Incuse marks on a coin are most often caused by coin contact. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96071 Posts	Posted 12/25/2022 3:38 pm I'm not seeing any damage to the reverse in the area to say that it took a hit. There also does not seem to have any metal welling up at the edges to indicate a hit. Could this be a huge strike through? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
