Often struck coins stick to the die and mint peeps scratch the coins when prying them off. Chad, is there any issue that you can see....i.e. collar deformation etc? Just a thought.....vicious pliers etc..... MM
My thought is that it was struck through something so nasty that it bent the coin. Look at the way the denticle border flares out / gets thick and then bends right at the obverse flaw. From that I think it happened during the strike.
