    One of two errors I found while looking over my stuff. I think it's a particularly strong indent strike with clear remnants of the edge reeds and the typical rim overlap.

    Edit: realized the title says 1921 instead of 1931... oopse! =)

    It happens when the coin doesn't completely exit the die fast enough and part of it gets slammed onto the next coin.
