biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/21/2017 4:29 pm We "get it" just fine, your coin is damaged and there is no way a bulge like that could occur between two hardened steel dies when the coin was struck. The fact that the indent is located on the date is irrelevant, the date is not manually punched with individual digits. Indent+Bulge= post-mint damage. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 02/21/2017 7:16 pm to the forum! Sounds like it was counter punched with a punch that had a 6 on it. It is considered damage when people do this to coins. Report this Post to the Staff
