<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 71880, member: 1859&quot;]You are free to believe whatever you wish.&nbsp; But badly vandalized coins like this are quite common.&nbsp; The impact damage appears to have warped or bent the coin, and some metal is protruding beyond the edge.&nbsp; Either would indicate post-strike damage.&nbsp; The presence of any sort of a pressure ridge around any one of the indentations is another indicator of post-strike damage.&nbsp; Any flattening on the opposite face across from any of these indentations is an indicator of post-strike damage.&nbsp; The discoloration and rough surface is yet another indicator.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
