Spence Moderator United States 34521 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 8:27 pm @gig, to me that smearing of them metal means that the rim is damaged, so not a mint error. Too bad as it sounds like the coin is in great shape otherwise.

Gig99hc Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 8:42 pm Look at how the rim gets wider though....if it was scraped post-mint, the rim wouldnt be wider Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34521 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 8:48 pm I hear you, but it looks to me like the metal from the rim has been smeared down over the field of the coin. This is especially evident in your last picture. There will be several other folks weighing in over the course of the couple hours. Please keep checking back and perhaps the consensus will be different from my opinion.

Dearborn Moderator United States 103872 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 9:39 pm In cases like this one, it is imperative to be able to see the entire coins surface, not just small parts of it. so until I see better - this is just damage.
