JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21655 Posts	Posted 11/12/2018 4:18 pm It's only an error if it happens when the coin is being struck. As it is impossible for that to happen at that time, it is just damage. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 11/12/2018 5:16 pm @Mrph12, if you can see where the metal has been displaced on the sides of a gouge, it is almost always going to be damage. Look, for example, at the region in front of Abe's chin--the only way for this to happen is for an object to have dug into the surface of the cent and piled some of that material onto the surface.
