Mexico 1905 2Centavos - pre or post damage

Still not sure when this damage occurred to this coin. It is a relatively desirable coin and almost uncirculated. Can't decide when this damage happened to the coin. pre/during or post strike.

My god has it been in a revolution LOL

 

Pre-strike?

Not too likely that such a badly damaged planchet would get milled, and it doesn't look like it was struck over the dents.​

During strike?

Aw, c'mon, there's just no way those dents, dings and damages could have been pressed into a single coin, leaving the rest of the production from that die OK.​

Post strike?

Bingo!​

 

I would say post, as hontonai said, its much damage to be pre or during.

 

looks post to me!

 

perhaps... maybe from the battle of alamo
