<p>[QUOTE=&quot;predcarn, post: 144443, member: 6000&quot;]From the appearances, my thought would be that the damage was at least</p><p>in 2 direcions. First, downward pressure which pushed the entire &quot;1&quot; down</p><p>into the depression and then as the pressure was releasing a slight sideways</p><p>shear towards the rim, taking only the top part of the &quot;1&quot; that was in the</p><p>depression. Since some of the pressure was relieved, only the upper section</p><p>of the &quot;1&quot; was moved. Why not all the way off, I think the &quot;scraping&quot; tool</p><p>was continuing to rise ( notice how the depression on the rim seems less</p><p>deep than the field of the coin) and eventually stopped pushing it. I have</p><p>never seen any similar patterns that might be mint made. Maybe it was a</p><p>post mint device to push coins into &quot;lucky horseshoe&quot; pieces that was very</p><p>badly adjusted. I have some &quot;lucky&quot; pieces, and if you look carefully on the</p><p>edge of the coin sometimes there are depressions form this &quot;second&quot; pressing</p><p>outside of the mint.
