<p>[QUOTE="gc1111, post: 129700, member: 4142"]I am a relative newcomer to coin collecting and trying to learn, so take these comments in that light. Concerning the flattened areas just inside the rim of the coin, I have seen this many times in pocket change (I spend a lot of time looking at them). I have always attributed it to a slight misalignment while stored. The rim of a neighboring coin slipping inside the rim of this coin and causing the flattening of the legend. If this is the case, does it not count as a "bag mark"?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
