foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 03/13/2011 6:51 pm Somebody damaged the coin with a rotating wire brush. You can see the corresponding scratch marks on the obverse rim that would have been caused by the wire hitting the obverse rim as well. The coin was damaged. Report this Post to the Staff
