[QUOTE="The_Cave_Troll, post: 52709, member: 1674"]That was my EXACT thought process! The size looks like the edge of another half, but I couldn't figure out how that much pressure could be applied that way. Also, look at the divot closest to the 9. It is pretty deep, but right next to it is the 9 and on the digit itself the damage is pretty light. It strikes me as odd that some of the deeper damage is right next to some of the lighter damage, so close like that. Also, wouldn't the raised numbers be MORE likely to be damaged than the field? Hmmm, I figure it is post-mint damage, but I still haven't heard a convincing argument for what exactly could have caused it. Oh well, I think I will keep it as it is one on the more interesting coins I've found as of late, even if it is just a damage clad half. ;) Thanks all for your thoughts.[/QUOTE]
