ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19118 Posts	Posted 02/09/2025 2:47 pm I'm thinking post-strike damage. That feature--I assume it's raised--has been present for a loooooong time. Report this Post to the Staff

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 02/09/2025 7:51 pm Could it be a very large rim burr from the left of coin? Or even a large chip? I just do not see pushed metal to be a hit. ( warning; I am wrong most of the time) Report this Post to the Staff
