Is this actually "damage?"

But like I said, this obv die was used in later die stages than shown on the coin in question. If the die had been damaged every coin struck after that would also show the damage and they don't.

I still think this is likely a fantasy piece. The tooling is too similar in quality to the T$ I examined. There is just too much "wrong" with the coin, and every explanation defies an innocent root cause.

 

I'll be darned. Socrates was onto something, wasn't he?
