Someone has damaged it with what looks like vise grip marks

 

PMD. Pliers probably.

 

DEFDAM - Definitely Damaged.

Question.. Have you noticed that on most of your threads you keep asking "What type of error is this?"
Don't assume it's an error because it looks different.

Most of the time it is not a Mint Error.

Just ask.. Is this some type of error?

 

I feel it's damage but not from pliers. Something else.

 

Ok thanks

 

Ok you’re probably right. Why do you think that? I’m not trying to be contrary, just would like a different prospective.

 

I can't think of a type of plier with that jaw pattern. That and the obverse damage would have to be from a flat jaw. We will never be sure of the cause.
