808Treasure New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 07/20/2023 8:16 pm I'm trying to figure out if this is man-made or machine made by the mint. It has the same marks on the reverse as the obverse. Looks like a very strong press made this but not sure. Should I send it in? Let Mets know if you need more pics. Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95149 Posts	Posted 07/20/2023 11:41 pm I would guess it was done by a hole saw and a drill, But I don't see a center mark that should be there from the pilot bit.
