That wasn't done at the mint.

 

Looks like de-lamination issue and PMD.

 

Thanks guys, I was thinking more than likely it was PMD, but the curled up medal around the hole just gives me the impression that something popped from the inside, and who could do that besides the mint?

 

damage, spend it

 

The 2x2 is worth more than the coin

 

Looks like someone tried to gouge a hole in it, but gave up before going through. Not a drill, nut some sort of sharp instrument.

 

Stupid is that stupid does. Whom ever did it is an idiot. Thanks for posting it, be safe.

 

Looks like something exploded to get out, like in the movie "Alien."

 

I would say it's damaged as in PMD and the wear from circulation shows around the hole as it's been smoothed.

 

Really? And you know this because, what, you were there?

 

Looks like something a welding stick would do. jmo

 

Thanks Mr Q

 

I was thinking maybe a welding stick too....My brother's a welder and I sent him a pic.....waiting to hear back from him.

 

PMD plain and simple made with a sharp tool or something but not a mint error

 

BJBII That is EXACTLY what I was thinking ( hoping ) caused that damage!!!

 

Thanks for your input Guys!

 

He's saying it's damage, not a mint error. Certainly somebody at the mint could have damaged it as such.
