[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3470577, member: 77814"]FYI, it did *not* happen at the mint. It was damaged after the mint in the years of circulation. If you look at the *entire* surface of the coin you'll see a lot of damage done to it already. Even all the high marks were scraped. It's just that something hit that particular area of the date and pushed it over. It actually happens frequently once one starts looking and cataloging their change.
