Sparky2287 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 11/18/2014 10:04 pm Hello! These are a couple coins I have that appear to me to be some type of error (or maybe it is just post-mint damage). What are your opinions? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 11/18/2014 10:11 pm The cent looks like PMD to me. The outer devices look fully formed while the inner details look damaged. May have been heated and then scuffed. Our resident experts will be along to post their thoughts. The dime looks like an old, worn Rosie, but again, the center seems to have PMD. Looks like a possible counterstamp. Report this Post to the Staff
ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 11/18/2014 10:13 pm Well, the first photo is definitely post mint damage, and I'm not quite sure about the second one. Did you find these coins in circulation? Report this Post to the Staff
Sparky2287 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 11/18/2014 10:17 pm Yes, both were found in circulation. the mark on the dime is raised and with the way the lettering around the sides is weak I thought it might be a gouged die or something. Report this Post to the Staff
Coindog Pillar of the Community United States 917 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 01:46 am It could be a gouge but I'm thinking the dime was damaged from a pin being attached to it then removed. Nice to find silver on the wild though. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 12:25 pm Cent is post strike damage. Dime was soldered to something so it is also post strike damage. On the bright side the dime is silver. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 7:27 pm You can see in the center the straight cut lines from a razor blade. It leaves straight striation lines. Report this Post to the Staff
Sparky2287 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 9:44 pm I think you guys are right about the solder on the dime. I just weighed it, and it is .2 grams heavier than another silver dime. BTW....This forum is awesome! Report this Post to the Staff
