Keith67 Pillar of the Community United States 6507 Posts	Posted 04/22/2025 02:42 am This is a damaged coin. I call them "parking lot" coins Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21586 Posts	Posted 04/22/2025 06:24 am Not an error of any kind, it's just damage. There is no way for that to happen during the striking of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19120 Posts	Posted 04/22/2025 07:29 am Aye, post-strike damage--possibly of a 'parking lot' nature. Coin didn't leave the striking chamber in that condition. Report this Post to the Staff
