Really hard to tell from those photos but it looks like the dent was made by a BB gun. John1  |

Might not be a BB gun, could be an awl, nail or whatever, but I am sure it is post mint

I agree. I have several guns including BB guns that could do this. Believe me, this could have been done by a BB gun. Copper is much softer than the impact of a 600-1000 FPM BB gun. It also looks round like BB indents I have seen on coins. Quote:

yes, I know, it was a BB gun. this was about a year ago.
but I still do have 1 more question....
why are both of the dents INCUSE on the obverse, and only 1 INCUSE on the reverse.
wouldn't there have to be 3 shots?
but then there's the other problem, if it dented through the reverse the 1st (or second) time, why didn't is have the same effect on the other shot?
