I know there's a bunch of coins that get damaged by the reeding edge of another coin. But I've never seen one so deep or long. Usually you can make out 2-4 little edges from when another coins edge came in contact with the face of another coin. Any information is greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25102 Posts	Posted 09/30/2023 5:53 pm This looks like post-mint damage ( PMD). It appears that somehow another half was rolled on this coin with enough force to cause reeding impressions across it.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 10/01/2023 4:30 pm looks like another half dollar was heavily rolled across this one. PMD to me too. Collecting since 1972.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 10/02/2023 6:02 pm It looks like a bump on the reverse under the HALL. lines up with the obverse. That would take a very hard hit, maybe someone took another half and hammered the edge into the coin. Edited by Cujohn 10/02/2023 6:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
