1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list). Our community is not a soap box for complaining or drama, so please refrain from doing so here.[/size]

Arrows point to what I originally though was a damaged coin. Upon closer examination I noticed a lot of strange thing about this area of this coin.

This looks like a pin from a machine. It also looks like it was pressed into the coin.

The 2 and the 0 look like they could have been stamped on top of the scrape. Also the ridge above the 2 looks like it was stamped after the scrape was made.

This end of the pin looks like it is still pressed into the coin.

I know this is not a good picture but I got as close as I could to show you that the ridge was still on top of the pin.

I know these pictures are not very good but I did the best I could. I would be happy to send this coin to Daniel or go on a road trip If Daniel thanks it would be worth my time. I live south of Raleigh NC. I will try to get better pictures if you need them but the pin is so small it is hard to get it in focus.

May I ask what kind of device you're using for your extreme close-up imaging?
