It does appear to be damage...but it's very odd the the obverse lettering in LIBERTY is still visible? The edge of this coin should have reeding all along the rim...is there reeding along the edge of the area in question? Can you tell us the weight of this coin? Is it the same size as another Peace dollar? Does a magnet stick to it? Some better pics would surely help... smat
