This is a well traveled coin. But, there two areas that are dents in only the obverse. See circled area. Is this a potential strike through of some kind? thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 01/17/2023 10:09 pm Well-travelled is an apt description. I agree that those two dents are damage rather than a double strike through. One way to tell is that there are flat spots on the reverse directly opposite to these depressions.

cookiemonster Pillar of the Community United States 1335 Posts	Posted 01/18/2023 06:41 am have to ask is that a crack on the back right ? Why is the rim worn fat ,but not over the 9 ? The bottom of the coat looks like a hit if you look at the rim bows out slightly . I know no one likes rotated photos , but it might help here.
