<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 24711670, member: 74863&quot;]One only needs to look closely at the coin, and the mint mark, to see it was hit by something. Copper is a soft metal and is easily moved. This coin has circulated considerably after being hit.</p><p>All 4 digits in the date show signs of being hit. It’s flattened and the top of the 9 has raised metal from being pushed downward.</p><p>Only the curve on the top left of the mint mark is normal. The remainder of the “S” is flattened. Just below the area that looks raised that split the top of S actually has raised metal showing it was scrapped. Through time, handling and circulation this has become worn but still visible. It raised a small amount of copper and forced it into the S.</p><p>The coin is clearly damaged from an unknown source from the hit. Circulation had worn it down and that’s why it looks like it does. Not even close to a strike through.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
