Jackwagon386 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 08/13/2024 12:38 pm It looks like the outer edge was never struck. Too uniform and no marks that look like someone did themselves. Haven't found any like it to compare to could use some help Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19159 Posts	Posted 08/13/2024 12:40 pm I'm thinking post strike damage--the coin didn't leave the striking chamber in that condition.. Damage was likely deliberate--heavily abraded. What does the reverse look like? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 08/13/2024 12:41 pm @jack, first welcome to CCF. Second, these are typically due to mechanical abrasion. The weight should be low and the edge reeds should be there, albeit narrower due to the rims having been sanded away. Can you please post a picture of the reverse too for completeness? Thx.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74279 Posts	Posted 08/13/2024 12:49 pm To CCF! It's been damaged after it left the U.S. Mint. Probably been sanded down on the edges. Not an error coin. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
