I don't know what the indentation would be however and the coin is doesn't lie flat. It weight 3.15 grams. Maybe you've seen this and can help with explanation. Thank you!!

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74241 Posts	Posted 06/11/2025 11:43 am It's a damaged coin. PMD. A real Clipped Planchet wouldn't have displaced metal. It should show weakness around the affected area and the Blakesley effect on the opposite side of the rim. Your coin is just a Post Mint Damaged coin. https://www.pcgs.com/news/collectin...-error-coins Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 06/11/2025 11:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
