Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 02/02/2019 2:22 pm I found this LSC in my stash, and at first got a bit excited. The more I studied it, the more I realized I don't think this could happen at the mint. But looking at the coincidences with the shape of the flaw, I think you can see where it would be possible to get slightly excited. Notice especially the exact curvature of the flaw compared to the rim of another coin in photo #5. Then on the Reverse of the coin, it appears to be marks from a arm used to push a coin into the press. Photo #7. I plan to keep it, because it is just such a strange way for a coin to be damaged. At first I thought maybe it had been re-fed into the press, and somehow got jammed against the die . But I think this would not be possible. Enjoy anyhow, I had a neat rush for a few moment.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/02/2019 2:25 pm Looks like coin damage. Note the shape of the rim around the obverse and reverse. Note on the areas in question, you can see them smashed inwards from what ever was used to damage this coin. PSD. Not a mint error. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21629 Posts	Posted 02/02/2019 3:04 pm [ First of all, coins are not made in presses, they are produced in a striking chamber. As it is impossible for that damage to happen at that time, what you have is PMD (Post minting damage) Report this Post to the Staff

Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 02/02/2019 3:07 pm I was mainly curious as to how it happened. It appears as though it may have jammed in some form of mechanism used to advance a coin. Dan Report this Post to the Staff
Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 02/02/2019 3:45 pm Jimmy; The first line in my Original Post I wrote, "The more I studied it, the more I realized I don't think this could happen at the mint". In addition at NO POINT did I claim this to be an error coin, in fact quite the contrary. Read what I wrote. I clearly said it was interesting. Also being a Certified Millwright for General Motors, any machine that embossed or stamped an item from raw stock, was referred to a a coin press. EVEN though coins were not made with them. If you just would have read the narrative, instead of jumping directly to the photos, you may have avoided insulting me for no reason. Dan Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21629 Posts	Posted 02/02/2019 5:48 pm Panther- In your heading you state " PSD or is it?" as if you are questioning whether or not it could possibly be an error. This is why I said it was damage. Also this is not General Motors, it is a coin forum and we try to get the members to use the proper terminology, hence the correction. This happens all the time on here when someone misidentifies something. I don't why you think you were insulted but that was not the intention. My intention was to answer your question the best I could. Report this Post to the Staff
Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 02/02/2019 8:30 pm or is it, was a tongue in cheek hook. I made it very clear in the thread that I was fully aware it was NOT produced at the Mint. Here are a few links to coin minting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mint_(facility) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coining_(mint) http://www.madehow.com/Volume-2/Coin.html Funny how every search of coin minting refers to the machine as a PRESS. I think you are referring to what the press is doping. It is striking the blank. But it is a PRESS that does the work. Dan Report this Post to the Staff
