1995-D Washington P In Plurimus What's Happening

Best I can do at the present time

Does not explain why the bottom of the P extends past the leg of the P and is raised to the extend it is Without a large indentation some where that would force the metal up. The mark above it is not large enough to account for the amount of metal.

Agree, circulation damage.



to the CCF!

There are two things that can happen to a coin. Error or damage.
Seeing there is no way that could happen during the striking of the coin,
it has to be damage. It doesn't really matter how it became damaged, it is still damage.

I agree with all of the above, your coin has displaced metal as a result of circulation damage.

CHB, I suggest you watch a few videos that would show how coins are minted. As JimmyD mentioned, with your coin you have either an error from the minting process or damage later from circulation. We here are familiar with the minting process, and we can tell you that yours is not a minting error. How did your circulation damage occur? There are a million ways damage can happen, but in the end, damage is damage.
