Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 08/16/2018 10:48 am If you are referring to the gap in the letter W, that is a damage caused by the coin getting hit and splitting the W. to the Forum. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21631 Posts	Posted 08/16/2018 1:20 pm It is only an error if it happened during minting. That happened later so it is PMD (Post Mint Damage) Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74707 Posts	Posted 08/16/2018 2:22 pm It's Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). The "W" in "WE" took a well placed hit, causing the metal to get pushed over and flattened. It's not an error. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 08/17/2018 02:17 am Think you need to learn first the difference between a true mint error, one of typical machining wear and errors caused after the coin has been stamped. The die chip in the 9 is just typical macine wear, very common on worn dies. Most hold little if any premiums. I suggest reading a lot before you start determining what you have. Start here: Www.error-ref.com The section on Wastebasket errors says a lot! As for lists, learn an make your own. Edited by Crazyb0 08/17/2018 02:19 am Report this Post to the Staff
