Bluebark New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 6:51 pm I am looking through a bunch of coins before I cash them in and found this. Can someone tell me what makes these marks or what this is called? I did some searching but only came up with something called wheel mark but I doubt that is what caused this. What ever it is, happened after the artwork stamp but before the lettering stamping. I am new here and to looking at coins so please forgive me if my nomenclature is not correct when trying to explain this...thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74818 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 6:55 pm To CCF! Coins are struck by steel rod dies, not stamped. What you have here is unfortunately just Post Strike Damage ( PSD) from a Coin Wrapping Machine. It's been damaged after it left the U.S. Mint, so it's only worth 25 cents. It's safe to spend.

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 7:12 pm To your point, The "artwork" on this coin is raised, but the lettering is incused. So, damage - likely from a Coin Wrapping Machine - would appear to skip over the letters as if it were there before the letters. That should explain what you are seeing. Report this Post to the Staff
Bluebark New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 7:27 pm @BigSilver I am such an idiot. Looking at the coin under the microscope, the lettering looks raised. Had I looked at it with my naked eyes, I would have noticed that. NOOB Thank guys. At least now I can look up the process now that I know what it is. Thanks again for your fast replies.

Bluebark New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 04/10/2019 9:33 pm Thanks again! @Coop I like what you did there with the pic but you didn't have to put my name with that cool icon on it. That icon reminds me of a couple of pic I have seen studying the electric universe. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff
