Dearborn Moderator United States 108481 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 10:24 am I agree with a damaged MM. Just flattened out by circulation or a hit upon it. Collecting since 1972.

Please no disrespect, but the coin comes from an OBW roll of 1953-s and is a gorgeous golden satin color. This in itself doen't mean it wasn't damaged post mint. I have two more almost identical. The coin had another issue at the top where a chuck of copper came off or something obstructed the strike. A close inspection at the mintmark seems like a Cud there? But heck I am still a dumbass I will post closer pictures. You guys may very well be right. Report this Post to the Staff
grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 10:58 am hopefully this image is better. doesn't it appear that there is a "s" under the flattened one? Maybe it's different than any discovered yet. LOL The possibility of something striking just the mint mark with no evidence of contact around the marks or anywhere else on the coin is unlikely but stranger things have happened. It truly doesn't matter to me I will give it away more than likely. Edited by grospoisson 12/19/2021 11:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7600 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 11:52 am Your image is much better and as mentioned previously it has taken a hit and the mint mark has been flattened. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 1:11 pm Or even a coin counter/vending machine can damage the devices on a coin. Not a mint error. Happened after it reached circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
VestigeWolf Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 8:38 pm I disagree. In the last picture it looks like an S over S tilted. Or it could be the lighting. Report this Post to the Staff
