Looking at the cardboard again I'm going to suggest that something round hit the package at a point just contacting the edge of the coin. This made the circular pattern on the cardboard and tore the hole where the cardboard was pinched between the coin and whatever hit it. The cut on one side of the cardboard does seem to have an arc that probably matches the circumfrence of the coin. The padded envelope should have evidence of that hit too. Unless the damage was done before the seller put into the postal system.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
