Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 09/07/2012 11:40 pm I have seen a coin counting machine cause this type of damage. Some people see something different on a coin and no matter if they think it happened outside the mint or not they still think its an error. What they don't understand is that if you can make your own coins look just like it by scratching the coin or causing any type of damage to the coin at your home or shop then its not really an error but Post Mint Damage and it doesn't do anything but devalue the coin. They think no matter where it happened it is an error and worth allot of money even if it was done after it left the mint Report this Post to the Staff

pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 09/09/2012 9:52 pm I've seen a couple of different ebay sellers try to sell coins with that particular type of "error" -- and they always seem to want a fair buck too! Anybody know where I can pick up a spare coin counting machine cheap? I think I'm gonna try to make me some mortgage money... lol Report this Post to the Staff
