I see them falling out there but what I am saying is that that is not enough to cause this damage. If I throw a coin as hard as I can at another coin it wont indent it like this, so why would falling our of the machine like that cause it. Also if that were the case wouldn't we see this a lot more often? The pictures may not show it but that indent is in there a couple of mm.
Oh and thanks for the info too guys its much appreciated.

Maybe the coin in question was at the bottom of the bin with tons of weight on top? John1  |

This is very much worth submission to NGC or PCGS.
At worst, you lose a bit of money.
But you could have a major error.

Quote:To be honest, I have no accurate idea how it was caused. I am by no means having a 'go' at anyone. I am just out to have a bit of experimental fun, for my own entertainment.   Curiousity, I suppose. First of all, I have to get a couple of cheap Ikes. Obviously, something was lost in translation between you and derekbob24 and cultures. So will it be easy for you to find an Ike over there? I'm thinking it would be like me trying to find one of these over here:   Anything could be replicated with the right tools. For what it's worth, whether it's a legitimate struck through error or the damage happened after it was minted, I do believe it came from the mint that way. Put me in the struck through column. I would submit it. I would love to see it in a slab as a mint error!  |

Images could be sharper but there doesn't appear to be any metal ridges along the edge of the brockage area that would result from the reeding being in contact with the surface after the strike. I feel the coin is a legit struck through reeding error. I also think it would be difficult to duplicate that effect without the intense pressure of being struck from the die. The reeding fragment could have been struck through a coin more than once cuasing some weakness in the detail and spreading.

Mike Diamond has spoken. I agree with Mike Diamond too. That was my thought. I think you have just scored yourself a nice find! Congratulations! Errers and Varietys.

I really hope you send this to PCGS, and if you do, please get it TrueViewed. I've got my fingers crossed for ya. |

It will cost nearly $100 for the privilege of a PCGS slab, which is more than the coin is worth. Unless a coin is worth $500, it's not worth slabbing, in my opinion.
