Where is the damage?
Dug up?
Looks almost like typical half dime damage....
My guess would be that it was in a locked coin 'bank' and someone without the key tried to pry it out with a small screw driver
JMIO Those old banks were well constructed and had springlike devices to prevent the unauthorized removal of the coins.

Looks like an error to me.
Don't try to tell ME it's PMD.
Machine doubling at least.
Still, worth 32 points in slab yahtzee.
Wow. Surface condition looks like a coin I fished out of the garbage disposal when I was a kid...
Ms Liberty face planted!

Looks like it lived in the dirt for a while and was lost soon after it was minted. Some very nice details, too bad about the damage.

Looks like an unfortunate encounter with the ugly stick.
Isn't it sad that coins like that have to be in a slab to make them marketable in these days of widespread counterfeiting of early US coins (and plenty of later ones too).
Is that a doubled die obverse, or just machine doubling?
it looks lie a Zombie coin

I thought I heard something when I was mowing the lawn !

You guys obviously don't collect medieval coins.
Were this a medieval piece, you'd see a description like "some roughness, surface marks, minor loss at rims, otherwise full flan, good central detail and legends. VF for issue"
Conservatively graded VF
