    Hi,guys,I just started collecting ancient coins, and this is the first ancient coin I collected. I recently found a mark on this side of Shiva, some people say that this is the deformation of the grinding tool that pressed coins. Can anyone know what this is?And whether it will affect the condition and grade of the coin? Thank you.

    Welcome to the hobby and the Forums!

    What you highlighted looks like a crack to me. If so, I'm sure it would have an impact on grading and value; how much I can't say but I'm sure there are others who can help!

    I wonder if it was used as a necklace at one time? So from a mount?

    As far as I know, it wasn't used as a necklace.
