DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1231 Posts	Posted 01/12/2025 7:39 pm Way outside any price point I have but I found this interesting. It DETAILS UNC for Rim damage. To me I think there is some evidence of a strike through error. Would like to hear some opinions on it. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 18355 Posts	Posted 01/12/2025 8:03 pm That's just damage, DOCC. Metal has been pushed up - especially around that crater to the right. Also seems that the reverse is damaged in corresponding areas. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 70318 Posts	Posted 01/13/2025 08:30 am agreed - PMD - even the rim is a bit out of round. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
