As for the deformity, it&#039;s difficult to say how it happened but there is a fair amount of damage on the coin itself. Copper is a soft metal and it&#039;s fairly easy to move devices around. See some of the damage from coin rolling machines..... some of the devices are moved quite a bit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
