tlf1428 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/23/2017 11:29 am I am very new to coin collecting but when I came across this is had me intrigued. Can anyone explain why the "IN" seems to be half missing or pushed up? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Most industrial rolling machines roll up the ends of both rolls so that no coins can fall out. They don't care two flips about the coins on the ends, so those coins are usually damaged just like this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
