I just checked it out, Nice find! I very seldom go on the colonial variety section but maybe should.  The full coin shot shows it very well but would have bet it was damage from what I saw here, sorry. -makecents-

I think you are correct about it not being a scratch. But I cannot tell if that feature is raised or incused. Does it ride up and over the E then back down to the field, or is it level with the field all the way through?

It is actually incused, and now I am wondering what coop would think?

It's a strike through. A scratch would leave jagged edges along the sides. The damage at the 2 O'clock position gives less weight to the coin though. This is still a good find.

Definitely looks like a struck through to me, not seeing any displaced metal. I'll have to check out the full images so I can. Get a better look at the clip. Thanks for sharing.

Here's the full coin again Now under the date there exists a small rim Cud, and is in the vam-3 range...   Edited by mrwhatisit

So you've got a clipped planchet, a strike through, and a rim Cud on the same coin. Quality control must have been taking a break! |

Nice find! I agree, someone at the mint was sloppy that day!  |

This needs a bit of a bump, as I have found the VAM lock on this Morgan dollar last year September. It is a vam-17 as all the clues point to that VAM on vamworld  |
