biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 04/04/2017 2:00 pm It is not a mint error but it is one of the very few forms of definitively mint-caused damage. The lines are crimp marks from the heat sealer used to seal the coins in the mylar pouch. Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 04/04/2017 2:06 pm Good explanation,so when was this suppose to have happened ,before the coin went in this pouch ?because the mylar pouch that holds all Six coins( including this Dime) has no sign of damage. And wouldn't the crimp marks effect the entire side of the coin rather than just Part of the Rim ? Edited by Chase007 04/04/2017 2:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Happens during the process of being sealed. Coin was normal after strike and damaged during the packaging or sealing process. Quote: And wouldn't the crimp marks effect the entire side of the coin rather than just Part of the Rim ? If the whole coin had been caught between the sealer when pressed, then yes the entire coin would show it. If only a small section or parameter gets caught between the sealer then no. Thanks, Doug.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/04/2017 3:48 pm I don't feel this is the cause. The lines would be a lot closer. I feel someone damaged the coin. Note that the lines are not all the same on the rim? Report this Post to the Staff

How much pressure? I can only speculate the force given on a commercial level. Do know the cheap home grade sealers need a good bit of pressure to acquire an airtight seal. Thanks, Doug.
