rynegold Valued Member United States 249 Posts	Posted 01/15/2016 1:43 pm I've moved this to here as I got NO response at all over in classic errors. I'm thinking it should be here instead. So I've come across this 21 Morgan. It has hints of planchet surface left on one edge, and on the obverse, "doubled denticles and stars".

I am just trying to imagine how this would happen during the minting process... die filing of areas tend to add metal to that area, but this area shown on your coin appears to be worn to some degree. Coin does appear to have a very slightly off center strike, but that would not account for the arcs along the rim on each side of the coin in that area. I am at a loss if it is not from a counting wheel. I tried. Report this Post to the Staff
twodsonegf Rest in Peace United States 637 Posts	Posted 01/15/2016 5:13 pm Been pondering upon Ejection type damage, but does not make sense. I am very curious what might have occurred at the mint to produce this. I hope someone here has seen this or has a better understanding of errors. I think I can say with certainty that it is not in the die ha. Report this Post to the Staff
