rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 03/09/2009 12:59 am I would say it was struck with something. (you no doubt already knew that). What does the reverse look like? Does it have a raised area opposite of the dent? Post mint damage. And to the forum. Edited by rockdude 03/09/2009 01:01 am Report this Post to the Staff

rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 03/09/2009 01:13 am Couldn't have happened at the mint, also known as post mint damage. Report this Post to the Staff
GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 03/09/2009 01:17 am Defiantly post mint. Very odd indentation though. Can't think of what could make the "outie" on the reverse without any other damage to the reverse elsewhere Report this Post to the Staff
rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 03/09/2009 01:23 am I would say a small punch could leave a coin looking like that. You can see other marks on the rim. Is that a re-punched mint mark? A closer look will help. Report this Post to the Staff
84DoubleVision New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 03/09/2009 01:25 am i was thinking that something probably struck it but then I kinda think it was heated there somehow, there is an outie on the indentation, which is pretty much what confuses me Report this Post to the Staff

livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 03/09/2009 1:18 pm welcome to the forum! Yes, it is post mink, and yes it is damage, but from what? I thought at first it might have been from a pellet, but the small luump, makes that unlikely. A defective pumnch would do it, depending on what kind of damage to the pinch. nice pictures.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 03/09/2009 2:34 pm No doubt at all it's post-mint damage. No indentation created into a coin would show in the other side...such as indents, struck-throughs, etc. All of these involve only one side of the coin while leaving the other side completely normal.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/09/2009 10:40 pm Probably one that was damaged with a dent in the end of it negative to the bump you see in the center of the obverse. happens to the best of coins. Report this Post to the Staff
