<p>[QUOTE=&quot;masterswimmer, post: 26061204, member: 102022&quot;][USER=100485]@Iamleilanianne[/USER], I&#039;d like to explain part of the reason a number of members suggested your coin is a lawnmower damaged specimen. </p><p><br /></p><p>1- The way the rim on both the obv and rev are &#039;folded over&#039; a bit lends itself to being subjected to the spinning of the mower blade. The metal on metal will damage the coin in that fashion.</p><p><br /></p><p>2 - The &#039;patina&#039; of the coin is very indicative of a coin that has been in contact with the ground, soil, grass, etc. If you look at some of the coins [USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER] has recovered with his phenomenal metal detecting skills, you&#039;ll see the appearance of some of his finds have that same environmental damage (ED), almost like pitting. </p><p><br /></p><p>If your coin was a parking lot coin, it could have had the same metal movement, but the patina or ED would not look the same. For these reasons I&#039;d be inclined to say your coin was a lawn mower damaged coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
