Ok, it has a Chip inside the g. It has weird Cracks? Chips? Under the relief and also throughout the periphery.

i can't tell from the images but the G looks like a die gouge to me but with sharper images could reveal it to be a crack.

Its different metalcomp than usa .ill re do I promise. Maybe heet damage perhaps?

[occnumis2021]

the pics aren't the best but it looks like all the others i've seen. that is to say, i see nothing awry with the coin.die gouges, chips, breaks, metal flow lines, die erosion are all just part of the process.

you can even find some of those on older antiques that used forming dies that would go through virtually the same deterioration process. metal is metal and pressure is pressure.
