davec13 Pillar of the Community United States 757 Posts	Posted 10/21/2015 06:59 am Automated mail sorting machine? I really have no idea. I would have left it in the cello though as now people are just going to likely assume PMD. If it was sealed in the original cello it would have had a more interesting story with it.

teo2015 Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 10/21/2015 08:28 am I would suspect a mail sorting machine as well, but it would also have left marks on the packaging. What did the envelope and cello look like? Report this Post to the Staff

Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1608 Posts	Posted 10/21/2015 11:11 am We're talking about 2 related issues here, right? There's the reeding that's creeping onto the obverse near Liberty, and there is the gouge (if that's the word) on the reverse rim nearly parallel with the torch. I don't see how those two "imperfections" could have happened in a mail sorter or anything very far from the minting machine. Did this come from a mint set or did you get an individual cello? What did the packaging itself look like? Was the dime loose in it's cell or stuck to the cello? So many questions! Report this Post to the Staff
