honestabe Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 05/30/2008 12:28 pm I found this today. It looks like post mint damage, but the coin is not in bad shape and I can see the shadows of IN where they are supposed to be. Look at the IN. It is all messed up. But there are fat shadows where it should have gone. What do you think, post mint damage? There is a mark to the left of IN. Could some part of the coin press caused this? The scrape is not very deep but I can see that it is definately a scrape of some kind(long scratch marks inside the scrape). The Reverse has No major scratches on it as well as the obverse except normal circulation wear. The only major scrape is near and to the left of IN. My guess is post mint damage.

honestabe Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 05/30/2008 2:04 pm Do you mean counting machine at a bank or at the mint? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/30/2008 5:45 pm My guess would be a Coin Wrapping Machine. When the coins are rolled into the shot gun rolls, the outside edges of the coin get scraped/gouged/distorted when the machine wraps them. They are usually all ways the same distance of marks on the coins. Just depending on the type of coin wrapper. Report this Post to the Staff
