    Bag mark from edge of another coin?

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

    It looks like the rim of another coin just hit it at an angle ...or it's the only W-mint peace image

    Maybe Adolph Weinman wanted to take credit for the
    design of the Peace Dollar away from Anthony de Francisci.

    That's my final answer.

    Looking at 'coin edges' and trying to visualize how that could happen leaves me without a good explanation... There must be another answer... or I may be overlooking something. Cheers, RickO

    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.

    OK, thanks everyone. Here's a full obverse of the 34-d PCGS MS64:

    Yep....Post strike damage...aircraft flack, Godzilla's tooth mark, the wife's ego (nasty and ugly)? The red thing is a circle - that's post strike too.

    The coin seems to be an ebay acquisition.

    could be from the weight of the other coins that were stacked on top of it. jmo

    Not a 64 IMO even with nice strike and great luster
