RandyK6371 New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 05/19/2019 12:46 pm First, sorry for the photos. I still can't get this picture thing figured out. I'm finding things I never would have before I got this USB microscope. I've found this and three other error coins in the last few days.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74919 Posts	Posted 05/19/2019 1:12 pm Sorry, but that's not an error. That just scratches from Post Strike Damage ( PSD). Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
RandyK6371 New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 05/19/2019 1:36 pm I'm telling you that if my photos were better, this is NOT PSD. I promise. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74919 Posts	Posted 05/19/2019 1:40 pm It is PSD, sorry. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
RandyK6371 New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 05/19/2019 1:56 pm How do I replace the close up photo? I think I have a clearer one now. Report this Post to the Staff
january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5178 Posts	Posted 05/19/2019 3:16 pm Plating issues, I believe, though could also be a delamination. Either way, in another few years it would probably become a rotten mess. Report this Post to the Staff
DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 05/19/2019 5:15 pm Quote: How do I replace the close up photo? Just add the second photo. Look for the edit button at the top of your post. It looks like a sheet of paper with a pencil across the corner. Your coin has a crack on it. They add little extra value if any. That being said I might still keep it. Edited by DrDon 05/19/2019 5:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
HoboNickelCarver Pillar of the Community United States 717 Posts	Posted 05/19/2019 5:44 pm Interesting find. Report this Post to the Staff
silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 05/19/2019 5:45 pm Does not look like a scratch to me, some sort of lamination/delamination to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74919 Posts	Posted 05/19/2019 6:46 pm Now with the updated picture, it looks like a Struck Through error, but I am not 100% sure though. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3666 Posts	Posted 05/19/2019 8:13 pm The vertical zipper-like damage from the rim above VDB to the crushed ear lobe may be a clue worth discussing. It looks a bit like the coin may have been caught in the crimping machine when the bulk bag was sealed. If so, the surrounding areas of interest may be related to the crimping process. I'm not wedded to this idea, but just offer it for discussion. Report this Post to the Staff
Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 3182 Posts	Posted 05/19/2019 11:57 pm It is strange. Any chance of better pics of whole coin both sides. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/21/2019 1:42 pm Doesn't look like PSD to me, I suspect a laminated zinc core. Report this Post to the Staff
