reesetee commented on the word adjustment mark
A pre-striking file mark, seen mainly on gold and silver coins before 1840. These removed excess metal from overweight planchets. Adjustment marks are seldom seen on coins minted after 1840, because the filing was on the rim and was usually obliterated by the striking process.
