<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2323925, member: 1892&quot;]Truer words never spoken. In order for it to be an incuse feature on a coin, it has to be a positive feature on the die, and there&#039;s no way of doing that so the Mint is excluded as a culprit. It then becomes frustrating when you can&#039;t describe the particular mechanism of damage, though. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my snap thought: At some point in this coin&#039;s life, it became a shim or spacer of just the right diameter to hold a heavy weight or momentary impact, and did so. I don&#039;t see machine handling causing such even damage with no metal smearing at all, even factoring subsequent circulation. Unfortunately this can never be anything but theory. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
