Johnsonr29 Valued Member United States 139 Posts	Posted 01/18/2018 7:33 pm Take a look at the second 9 in the date on this coin. It looks really odd. I don't see any damage on the high points or low points around the 9 that could have caused this. How did this happen? What am I seeing? Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 01/18/2018 7:43 pm I think a 9 in that position is prone to getting shoved over by coin counting/rolling machines. Wait for confirmation. I'm not sure. Report this Post to the Staff

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 01/18/2018 8:41 pm I agree with all of the above - there are coins on here with that type of Rolling Machine Damage on the very last digit of the date frequently.. Edited by Mark1959 01/18/2018 8:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 1:58 pm Looks like a vending machine damaged this one. It is parallel to the rim. A Coin Wrapping Machine would damage the coin more towards the center. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 01/20/2018 7:23 pm I stand corrected - Gumball Machine. Haven't thought about those for years and years. Report this Post to the Staff
