[QUOTE="princeofwaldo, post: 8160690, member: 24091"]How does a coin with multiple rim bumps get into an MS63 holder? The close-up photos are somewhat deceptive in that the website for advancing the picture (an arrow superimposed over the image at right) partially obscures the photograph. But the second photo of the coin in the slab leaves no doubt this is a damaged coin.
