This changes my opinion.
My opinion is it's damage.
The OPs coin is definitely an AH Kennedy. I recently found an AH Kennedy and sent it to NGC. NGC does not charge extra for this variety...
Condolences to all whose orders have been cancelled. Looks like the resale price of the golds will be going back up soon.
My opinion of value was based on the photos. I saw nothing in the photos provided that would indicate a value of more than $1.
It's worth a buck. It has machine/strike doubling, cause by die chatter during striking. Notice that the doubling is flat and shelf like with no...
Damaged after leaving the mint. It's been counter stamped. There's no telling who did it or why.
Struck through?
I see something just to the left of the torch, but with the poor picture, I couldn't tell what it is. Can you get a pic that's in focus?
Glad to help. Can't speak to value except to say they are worth what someone will pay.

No, the OP doesn't want to do that because he thinks they might have been stolen to feed the thief's hungry kids.
There is no way to ever find out how or why that was done to the coin. It was altered after leaving the mint. Don't waste any more time on it.
But if he gets nervous about it, he'll either do something stupid and get caught or he'll find a way to quietly return the coins.
Avenge a crime with another crime? He'll know who sliced his tires. The OP lost his coins, you'd like him to lose his freedom, also? Best bet is...
