<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nightowl, post: 764832, member: 18614&quot;]I know for a fact that this is not post mint damage. I am looking at it with a 50X eyepiece from a microfiche machine, and the surface of the damaged area is exactly the same texture as the rest of the coin. I propose that the damage was caused by the collar or perhaps by sheared scrap from a previous strike.
