Since I've gotten the Celestron I've not seen any coins that were damaged like this, probably used like a screwdriver to open something. So I decided to pop it under the scope.
I'd say that these cracks in the plating are directly related to the coin being twisted, but never really thought about this happening. It looks much like the cracked plating we sometimes see on coins that don't show any signs of being twisted but it made me wonder just how much of a little "twist" would cause this to some degree.
Anyway, that's my experiment for the day... back to searching these rolls for something good
