Dearborn Moderator United States 95360 Posts	Posted 02/24/2023 7:46 pm this was intentionally cut - I'm just wondering how the 'secondary' cut (the one perpendicular to the first one) happened. in any case it is just damage.

Khromtau Pillar of the Community United States 676 Posts	Posted 02/24/2023 8:07 pm The secondary cut perpendicular to the first one is more like a tear from the metal being forced apart, it is very common on coins that have been treated in this manner. Report this Post to the Staff
