That was my uneducated guess...but look deeper than bag marks...

Maybe Adolph Weinman wanted to take credit for the
design of the Peace Dollar away from Anthony de Francisci.
That's my final answer.

ricko, I've seen this exact type of edge reeding impressed
on coins before. How they got there involves heavy bags
of dollars being thrown around and stacked on top of each
other.
Or at least that's my WAG, and I'm sticking to it!!

My guess is it collided with another object, not necessarily a coin. Strange as it sounds, sometimes coins and other objects run into one another.

I would bet my house on this being the right answer, If you collect double eagles it is a very common mark. It just happens to be harder to do on silver but never the less that is what it is.
The coin seems to be an ebay acquisition.
