At first I thought this was due to damage but when I zoomed in on my photo, the border rim did not look damaged as it reached in towards the center of the coin. It looked like it was made that way. What do you guys think? Edited by Gretchen531 03/11/2025 12:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 03/11/2025 12:58 pm Based on the metal being "smushed" toward the center, my vote is that this is a rim bruise (damage).
