WB55 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 08/29/2024 9:03 pm There is a concentric 2/3 RDS of a circle of holes and then 3 more holes across the date. My question is: What would cause these holes? Report this Post to the Staff

WB55 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 08/29/2024 9:57 pm halfamind: They are holes on the Lincoln side and the positioning of five is almost in a half circle pattern. Each hole is like they were cut with a tiny drill bit. Edited by WB55 08/29/2024 10:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10547 Posts	Posted 08/29/2024 10:04 pm actually they are "indents" - holes are through the coin Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 08/29/2024 10:09 pm Could be BB impacts, could be a drill, could be from being pressed into tar by a car tire, could be zinc rot setting in--bottom line is that it is just damage of some sort.
