<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 158146, member: 4350&quot;]The coin being minted 70 years ago makes it impossible to know exactly what damaged it.&nbsp; It could have been damaged 50 years ago and circulation wear would effect the rest of the coin.&nbsp; The combination of an early damage and circulation is what caused the letters to be destroyed and mutilated.&nbsp; The metal was definitely moved around and damaged after the coin left the Mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
