<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 111354, member: 4350&quot;]The coin was squeezed in some type of vice or pliers.&nbsp; there is no doubt at all.&nbsp; The reverse of the coin was the up side when the damage was done. That is evidenced by the fact that the edge is cut into more deeply on the reverse side than on the obverse side.&nbsp; The fact that the metal is pinched and is protruding on the edge of the coin where the reeding is makes it 100% certain that the coin was squeezed in the middle.&nbsp; The fact that the coin was not bent indicates that it was not struck with a hammer.&nbsp; It is possible though that the coin was gripped by a plier and then the plier was struck by a hammer or placed in a vice.</p><p>The fact that we can&#039;t pick one out of what might be thousands of different tools doesn&#039;t alter the fact that this coin was pinched by a pair of pliers then the pliers were placed in a vice or struck by a hammer.</p><p>post mint damage in any case. besides, there is nothing in the minting process that can cause marks like this. </p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill</p><p>Take a cutting plier and place the coin in the midle of it[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
