I don't know if this is something that happened during minting or later. I've never seen another one like it. Any thoughts? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75082 Posts	Posted 07/29/2018 3:19 pm To CCF! Unfortunately, it's just Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint, so it's not an error coin). It's a heavily damaged coin. It's now considered a cull coin, and has lost pretty much all of its value, except for melt value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
