Going through the good ole pocket change today and found this. 99.9% sure it didn't come from the mint this way. Cannot imagine how this damage could have come about. Has no swelling on the obverse side. Tried to show the interior and the exterior as best I could. Definitely going to put away for one of those once in a lifetime things. So very small and only the area pictured has any signs of being struck with something and only half the width was affected. Open to all suggestions or ideas. As always thank you all so very much
Something hit it. What was it? Who knows... Did it come from the mint like that? No. Not even a remote chance of that.
Perhaps someone trying to 'pop' the outer layer off and sell on ebay as an error coin and realized it wasn't just stuck on.
So far I am going with the Aliens; they sneak into the man cave in the middle of the night and abduct all my goodies ya know. The thing about it is that it is so very precise.
