[QUOTE="howards, post: 2577466, member: 299"]There is no question in my mind that the oddity at the tip of the 5 is post-strike damage from being struck by another object. The proof of that is obvious if you believe that the two reverses are the same die. The later die stage coin (the second photo pair posted) does not show the damage to the 5. So that damage can't be in the die because it wouldn't disappear. It can't be a strike-through because that would affect the fields before the devices.[/QUOTE]
