Looks like an error that was stamped on his forehead. What do you think? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 05/05/2017 2:41 pm When a coin is struck by another coin (in circulation, not at the mint) a mark is sometimes left. Your dime was struck by a coin with a reeded edge, so a dime, quarter, or half dollar. This will leave that pattern of marks -- an example of this can be found here: http://goccf.com/t/287035. It's a great looking coin, except for that gash on Franklin's big ol' head. Report this Post to the Staff

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 05/05/2017 6:46 pm Apologies. I meant during the minting process. John1 is right in that coin to coin contact will occur in mint bags while still at the mint. Report this Post to the Staff
