<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2438396, member: 1892&quot;]This is one of those times where knowledge of how coins are minted is proof that it couldn&#039;t have happened at the Mint, whether we ever know the cause of the current damage or not. The complete obverse rim proves the collar was present, meaning the reverse <b>could not</b> have been struck that way for <b>any</b> reason. All we have is speculation as to the cause of the damage, unless the person who caused it posts here.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s actually kind of interesting, though - has any of the base metal under the cladding been exposed? I would expect it to have been, had a file been employed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
