I left it sealed in the box it shipped in, but decided to get it encapsulated and graded. But before sending it off I notice what seemed like a nick on the reverse rim. It doesn't extend into the reeded edge, I have tried to get some photos for you. Is this a mint error or damage and will it affect the grade? It hasn't been removed from its plastic capsule. I've also added a picture from the mint of the full coin because I wasn't able to get a full coin view, but if you know what you are looking for it is visible with the naked eye. 3 photos, on semi zoomed out, and 2,3 cover the length of the abnormality. Thanks in advance! G Edited by glehman001 11/29/2015 5:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

But no one has ever thought of a $100 gold Union. Face value $100, 900 fine, weight 167.15 grams, AGW 4.8375 oz. Perhaps some clever marketing guru from a major mint will come up with such an idea.

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 11/29/2015 5:39 pm If you are talking about the "chatter" on the very edge of the obverse face - that's damage. The other picture you show almost makes it look like some reeding is missing on the edge. THe photo just isn't good enough (especially inside the capsule) for me to be sure what that is. If there actually is an area on the reeding that is "missing" then it probably is mint error. If it's just been flattened by contact, then it's damage. Again - hard to be sure from those photos.

glehman001 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 11/30/2015 4:35 pm Thanks for the input, it doesn't extend into the reeding. It does look to me like damage, I guess I was just hoping it wasn't. Can't believe the mint would even release something like that for the price they charged. Imagine that duped by the government. Guess I should have left it sealed. Again thanks for the feedback.
