@Oldgrouchyguy, what was your "well known coin company"? Strange to site a source without mentioning their name.
The appearance presented by this example would be impossible to achieve in the striking chamber. The displacement of the metal shows that it did not happen pre strike, but post strike. When a post strike brockage happens, the coins are always parallel to each other. When tons of pressure is exerted on two items, the coins are smashed together with the distribution of forces evenly distributed with outward expansion. Impossible that only the edge of a coin be struck into another coin with no other evidence of detail. Especially since there is no reverse impression opposite of the incuse design. The coin is scraped and damaged on the reverse which it could not achieve in the striking chamber.
The coin is clearly damaged otherwise, which further proves the mishandling of the coin after leaving the mint.
