Cuzimcute00 Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 07/10/2018 12:14 pm Just curious if anyone could tell me if this is mint damage? The letters look "smeared" in some places. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74936 Posts	Posted 07/10/2018 12:28 pm Just Post Strike Damage. It's a Parking Lot coin. The metal has been pushed and flattened. This didn't happen at the U.S. Mint. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 07/10/2018 4:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Cuzimcute00 Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 07/10/2018 7:00 pm I took this to my friend in town and had him look at it. He told me if you were truly coin guys you would see this unfold in your head. Quadruple stamped coin with smear trails. Rotated the way of the arrow on the bottom but stayed vertical in the press. It might have been the coin that was stuck in the collar as the press stopped? The arrows point to what is the bottom left corner of the monument. :) Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 07/10/2018 7:33 pm This is 100% without a doubt post strike damage. It sounds like you're trying to describe a stutter strike: http://www.error-ref.com/stutterstrike-a/ or possibly a skidding coin error: http://www.error-ref.com/skidding-coin-errors/ Neither of which present on your coin, an in collar double strike would also not look anything like this, it would look more like this: https://coins.ha.com/itm/errors/191...1261-17700.s notice how you can clearly make out multiple distinct devices? two eyes, two chins, two sets of legs on the buffalo, two sets of letters on the periphery, etc. this is not evident on your coin. It's PMD. Edited by Adam_E 07/10/2018 7:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 07/10/2018 8:17 pm I see a 1975 Pinto doing a burnout in a parking lot and poor Abe was under the tire. That's what I see unfolding in my head! Report this Post to the Staff

Your friend needs to do a lot of research on coins. This coin was damaged outside of the U.S. Mint, and it's 100 percent Post Strike Damage. It can be safely put back into circulation. That's the end of the story. Please listen to us. We're correct. Don't listen to your friend. Quote: Time to find a new coin friend. I agree with you Bobby. Errers and Varietys.

Sorry, I don't see where you were "yelled at." Quote: He told me if you were truly coin guys you would see this unfold in your head. We are. It's just that your friend doesn't know much about coins and the minting process. It is 100% Post Mint Damage. ( PMD) Quote: Quadruple stamped coin with smear trails.
