coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/24/2014 10:34 am It is a damaged coin. I have three and I saved them just for educational purposes. But they are spendable. Report this Post to the Staff

kalinas New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 12/25/2014 11:07 pm Today I watched the coin with microscope and I have questions: If it is damaged coin how is made selectively: 1. The edge and rim are absolutely as in normal coin. 2. The dark spots on the coin and all letters are green and with metal as in normal coin. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/26/2014 01:25 am The dark areas on the tops of the devices that are dark look like stains on the coin from what I can see. The term Post Strike Damage carries the idea that this didn't look like that when it was struck. Something altered it after it was struck. Nothing in the mint process could cause this. So it is just a damaged coin. Report this Post to the Staff
