Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 11/26/2017 5:29 pm Just what exactly of a DAMAGED MINTMARK do you (the OP) not understand? Give me a high res closeup and it will be obvious. And NO, it is not a broken punch, pieces fall off the punch, not move around. The tensile strength of the punch is twice as hard as the die material, but more brittle!

X9 Mike Honcho Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 11/26/2017 5:46 pm I just wanted to say that I appreciate everybody and their input. I know there is no monetary value for this coin but I will keep it because I like how it looks. As far as sending it out it's not worth spending the money on it. I have an uncirculated 1972 half dollar it would be better spent on. Thank you for making it clear, your opinions on the coin. This is why I joined the community and I will continue to listen to your advice, you are the pros as far as I am concerned. Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff

That's what collecting is all about! However, we do try to save others from wasting money on grading when it's unnecessary. The grading costs could buy a nice coin, after all. I apologize for the somewhat misleading suggestion of a broken mintmark punch. I was pretty sure that wasn't the cause but, was trying to think of any reasonable possibility other than PMD. Do stick around and keep posting interesting finds and questions! I look forward to them.
