cc99999 Pillar of the Community United States 1302 Posts	Posted 03/23/2012 10:20 am I have been buying 1975 mint sets whenever I can get them for about $5 and I came across this strange cent. It's still in full brilliant red but it has these tooled marks all across the rim on the front and back. It's as if the coin got jammed in a machine. Anybody know what this is called? Or how it happened? Thanks. cc Report this Post to the Staff

cc99999 Pillar of the Community United States 1302 Posts	Posted 03/23/2012 10:31 am just to be clear- this coin is pulled directly from a mint set. There is no break in color where the damage is- so I think this happened at the mint. Report this Post to the Staff

cc99999 Pillar of the Community United States 1302 Posts	Posted 03/23/2012 10:40 am so the heat sealer is the thing that packages the mint set? Report this Post to the Staff
