<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 2952705, member: 84179"]Look very closely around the edges of the dent. There is a good chance you will see raised metal around some of the edges which indicates that the coin was hit. When a coin suffers a big hit, metal is displaced. Some of it is pressed into the coin, but some of it is going to form a raised rim.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take an objective look at the damaged area under magnification and look for a small lip/ridge.
