<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 130161, member: 4350&quot;]Hi,</p><p>My thought is post mint damage.&nbsp; Possibly a dremel tool with a wire wheel.&nbsp; There are some reasons for the thought.</p><p><br /></p><p>First and foremost are the swirl marks</p><p><br /></p><p>also, metal on the letters in question have been moved and some actually removed</p><p><br /></p><p>the metal(could just be the lighting) looks to be brighter in the effected area indicating that the toning was disrupted by abrasion</p><p><br /></p><p>The pressure of the wire wheel or something of that sort , if heavier at the center of the tool would account for the two letters being more abraded than some of the others.</p><p><br /></p><p>lastly, the part of the coin opposite the &quot;in question&quot; area has damage while the lettering on the rest of the coin is in really nice shape.</p><p>My thought is that the damage to the rim under the O of Dollar, and the damage to the E of ONE might indicate that the coin was held by something, a plier or a light grip of another tool at a logical place to then hit the questioned area with a small wire wheel or some other abrasive material.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a guess, but plausible.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
