theking13 Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 07/03/2018 12:25 pm I found this today and have never seen anything like this before. The coin is very shiny and the fonts are very large, even on the back. Their are deep holes on top of head and overlap of the rims. What would cause such a thing? To me..., it appears to have happened during mint but need a professional opinion as I'm still a newbie. Thanks Shawn Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 07/03/2018 4:23 pm It all looks like damage to me (not mint errors), but I'm not 100% convinced that this happened in a clothes dryer. In any case, this coin can be spent.
