Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 10/13/2021 06:30 am @tsi, first welcome to CCF. Second, those circular indents are damage—not a mint error.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 10/13/2021 06:55 am to the CCF Agree, that couldn't have happened during the striking of the coin so it is damage. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19155 Posts	Posted 10/13/2021 06:57 am Post-strike damage, almost certainly human influenced. Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 10/13/2021 07:52 am Looks like someone was using it for target practice with a high power BB gun lol, PMD Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96112 Posts	Posted 10/13/2021 08:00 am Looks right, a steel BB pressed into both sides of the coin.. Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/13/2021 1:04 pm How could you do that to make the same location on both sides with too BB's. Tape the two BB's to the coin then press it in a vise. That way they don't move until they are squeezed. Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 10/13/2021 1:27 pm Or mayb it was an expert sniper lol. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/13/2021 1:36 pm Right, with a BB gun. It would have to have a laser on it to get accurate on with one of these. Report this Post to the Staff
Ericwats Valued Member United States 133 Posts	Posted 10/13/2021 3:25 pm I would guess a small hole was drilled and a bearing/BB was inserted. Looks like a lot of work or boredom. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 10/13/2021 5:40 pm no mint error, just post mint damage ( PMD). However it was created, damage is damage. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/14/2021 04:23 am We get this Rockwell test question a couple times per year. Your coin is not that,the shape of the indent is wrong. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
