Robblob Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 02/25/2014 09:20 am I had a couple coins I wanted to put on here to see if anyone could tell me exactly what was going on with them. One of them has a puncture on the front and back. It is very clean so I didn't know if this was done at the mint or afterwards. The other one has a clear indention around one side of the coin where it is raised higher than the rest. The dark area is a shadow being cast by the ridge. Thanks for looking. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 02/25/2014 12:27 pm Rob - the 1964 looks to be post-mint damage that generally has the tell-tale signs of a witness mark opposite the damage site on the other side of the coin. The issue with the 1988 has something to do with the planchet when in the coining press. I've seen it a lot with pennies from 1984 through 1988 and often wondered what it was we were looking at. Given these are copper-zinc planchets, the 'quality' doesn't seem to be there. Report this Post to the Staff
