lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1655 Posts	Posted 01/02/2026 04:00 am I assume you mean the scratchlike ring around the outer edge of the reverse? No way to really say what caused it, but it is damage for sure. Somone obviously was having fun making holes in the coin, and most likely it's an artifact of that procedure either intentional or accidental. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24923 Posts	Posted 01/02/2026 08:49 am The ring is not circular - there are 4 indents. Someone had fun in the shop with this one. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94765 Posts	Posted 01/02/2026 10:30 pm Why am I not seeing any major damage on the obverse site where the 3 huge indents are? Collecting since 1972.
