I found this in a roll last night and have not been able to find any examples of similar errors anywhere. Does anybody know if this is a true mint error?
To CCF! That isn't an error at all. This is Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). It took a well placed hit, causing the metal to get pushed over and flattened. It's a damaged coin. Worth face value, since it's only damaged.
Mintmarks are NEVER that far off. It is as stated, damage post mint, whether contact hits, staining, glue/foreign material that just is similar to a device of a coin.
