<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1033034, member: 21705&quot;]This coin seems to have been under great pressure at some point. Everywhere there is a raised element in the design, there has been some flow of material. This is evident below Montecello and in &#039;doubling&#039; in the lettering. The flow of metal around the edges coincides with the additional raised rim material. I&#039;m certainly no expert, but I would suspect something like it was placed between leather (or similar protective material) and struck with a heavy object (like a sledgehammer). You might check to see if the edge is smooth or sharp where material from the rim might have flowed away from the center.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
