theking13 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 09/14/2016 1:15 pm Has anyone seen a coin with so much damage, would this be from a tire or something else? It's a bit odd with the tiny marks all over the place. Thanks Shawn Report this Post to the Staff

leverite New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 09/14/2016 1:19 pm Yeah, that looks exactly like some of the coins I've picked up in parking lots. The scraping against the concrete can do a lot of damage! Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 09/14/2016 1:28 pm Was just about ready to say that. Parking lot coin! If I had to guess, this one probably lasted all but a few months. Report this Post to the Staff

leverite New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 09/14/2016 2:32 pm Glad to help! This one's an overkill example, but whenever you see that gouging like that even in much smaller amounts - rough, shiny scrapes that move a lot of metal and don't seem to have a pattern or direction - it's a pretty good bet that it's spent some time being dragged around on the ground.

theking13 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 09/14/2016 2:53 pm Since we're on the topic of die errors, this looks like a possible die crack, but I've not found many. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/15/2016 08:39 am Looks more like bad teeth. LOL The black spots? These are sneeze droplets from someone without a Kleenex. They are usually noticed more on cents. (they look darker brown in color on cents) Report this Post to the Staff
theking13 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 09/15/2016 08:51 am I did not notice the spots, but another thing learned! Thanks What about the crack or dent on the mouth area? It looks like a crack, but not sure. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 09/15/2016 12:46 pm Looks like a die chip imho. Report this Post to the Staff
theking13 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 09/15/2016 12:58 pm Are die chips like this worth anything? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/15/2016 5:41 pm Usually not. But some will pass them off calling them something that they are not and some collect them. But it is another die event that happened to the die. Now all coins struck after that event will show the same things over and over and actually get worse with time. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 09/15/2016 5:46 pm Quote: sneeze droplets from someone without a Kleenex It would probably shock a lot of people to know what is on the coins they handle. The Silver and Copper coins are naturally antibacterial, but the Zinc Lincolns and all the rest are most likely covered with all sorts of scary stuff! Report this Post to the Staff
