    Hello,

    Please see the images below--is this damage when the coin was minted or mechanical damage after?

    Thanks for your replies, comments and opinions!

    I'm not sure how it was done but I am sure it was done post mint.

    What could explain the distinctly different surface from 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock on the reverse near the rim ?
