Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74197 Posts	Posted 06/05/2019 12:15 am Looks like a scratch near his mouth. If it is, then it would be Post Strike Damage ( PSD). As the coins goe into the hopper, they can get banged around, scratched and dinged. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 06/05/2019 12:18 am @cs, first welcome to CCF. Second, yes coins can be damaged after they are struck but before they leave the mint. Yours appears to be an example of this.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 06/05/2019 04:02 am I agree that it could certainly have been damaged through handling at the Mint, but I don't consider 40% silver "bullion" coins.
