    The "6" is damaged.

    Copper is a relatively soft metal. The edge of the 6 took a hit and the metal shifted. Sorry, but it's just damage, not an error

    Damaged - possibly from a rolling machine.

    The 6 took a hit. PMD.

  • I agree it could be damage, but there are no other signs of damage on the coin around the edge. thank you all for your comments. I think its still interesting.

    "Could be" damage?

    And what else "could" it be? :#

    You can see the shiny copper surface where the 6 was pushed off of. Pmd no added value. Peace Roy
