Henry’s note: Rim defects from 9:00 to 11:00 on the obverse are not damage but result from the tops of the edge letters (HALF) impinging on the rim. See JRJ article (2011) where this rim is shown in Figure 8. From J. Kern in March 2011 in Baltimore.
The coin was improperly aligned when it passed through the edge lettering device (Castaing machine).
