Second, I'm sure that the damaged mintmark on your coin looks very much like a pacman, but that did not happen when your coin was struck. Rather it is damage and your coin (much like the dude's coin on Etsy), is worth precisely $0.01. Please post pics when you can, but I can't envision a circumstance at the US mint where a pacman outline is used as the mintmark.

Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 04/11/2018 1:34 pm I found the Etsy listing for the pac-man coin, and it is just damage. Most of the "error" coins I saw on Etsy are just damage. Lots of clueless (or unethical) sellers trying to make money off of clueless buyers. Looked worse than some of the junk I see on ebay.

To CCF parkv2018! I think Etsy is even worse than ebay (although ebay is pretty bad too, but by far, Etsy is even worse) with more junk coins with fake, magical errors that are simply Post Mint Damage. Plenty of scams go on here. Please do not buy it or get suckered into it. Those clueless sellers on Etsy can't be trusted. Errers and Varietys.
