Spence Moderator United States 34467 Posts	Posted 02/20/2021 8:19 pm I'm not sure if that tiny little linear part is displaced metal from a hit or a die crack, but the top part of the number 5 being filled in is due to a die chip.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19306 Posts	Posted 02/20/2021 9:10 pm Not a mint error. Appears to be a die chip in the 5 coupled with a well placed hit. Copper is a relatively soft metal and can take on interesting shapes when hit. Report this Post to the Staff
