biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/15/2011 11:17 am road rash Mint damage still produces a physically damaged coin and it would be virtually impossible to prove it ever happened at the Mint. If you consider strike-throughs, laminations, and the like to be mint damage, then it should be fairly obvious that it happened at the Mint. Once something happens outside of the coining chamber after the coin is struck, it is just simply damage and nothing more. Edited by biokemist6 06/15/2011 11:24 am Report this Post to the Staff

Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 06/15/2011 1:19 pm Parking lot coins. Dropped in a parking lot and run over repeatedly, grinding the coins down into the asphalt causing major damage. Most of the coins I pick up in a parking lot have this kind of damage to some degree. It get even worse in winter when they get run over by the blades of snowplows. Dave Report this Post to the Staff
