In order to get a good overall impression of a coin we recommend that you post up a picture of your coin - the whole thing cropped , both sides. A good example of why we need full coin (both sides) is important can be seem in this topic - have a look: http://goccf.com/t/439644 Collecting since 1972.

MrJ Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 02/02/2023 07:23 am With it being donut like with the center not pressed in it wouldn't be a bb or a projectile hit it. To me it looks like someone took a nail set punch and made the mark. Would explain why the center of the hole is unaffected yet you can Cleary see on the reverse something with force struck it and dented the backside. Report this Post to the Staff
