Beeje New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 04/05/2018 11:36 am So can someone help as to how you'd describe this error? Appears to be strike against another cent coin,like previous one stuck in die. Edited by Beeje 04/05/2018 12:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74065 Posts	Posted 04/05/2018 11:48 am Nope, sorry. It's 100 percent Post Mint Damage ( PMD). It's a vise job where two coins get layed on top of each other, then the person strikes a hard blow with a hammer, causing the letters to get imprinted on the coin. On a true Double Struck error coin, the letters would be raised, not incused. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Beeje New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 04/05/2018 11:49 am I can't wrap my head around how this could happen while being struck. Possible that it's not from mint process? Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74065 Posts	Posted 04/05/2018 12:00 pm Beeje, you are correct. This wasn't done inside of the U.S. Mint. It was done outside of the Mint. Unfortunately, once your thread gets replys, you can't delete it for some reason. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 04/05/2018 12:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
