Retook photos with a scale in 1/16 inch interval, which is the diameter of the ball indenter used for Rockwell testing. Could anyone of you, who are convinced that it is Post-Mint-Damage and not Pre-Strike-Damage, think of any possible ways to produce those shown in the photos?
For the millionth time: a BB gun is the most likely cause.
The R in the bottom of the dent proves that the damage was post-strike.
So does the distorted rim above the T. That dent could not physically have existed prior to striking as the planchet would not have fit in the collar.
On the reverse, the N clearly shows moved metal, which happened post-strike.
And lastly, you still have not shown pictures of the whole coin. That's for good reason because it would show extensive PMD.
It has already been demonstrated that you are not a serious poster, but I bothered to respond only in case a person with a serious interest in learning stumbles upon this thread.
