coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/26/2020 5:25 pm Well what in the mint process could cause this? If it were pre-strike, the devices would have erased the alteration of the coin? It is on top of the coin. 3.05 grams is not far away from 3.11 grams Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 02/26/2020 5:33 pm Coop, I believe the die was tooled to be removed from service and inadvertently put into use. But that is just a theory. The 1974 Aluminum cent was never supposed to leave the mint, I think this cent was as well. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74504 Posts	Posted 02/26/2020 5:38 pm Nah Jim. This is definitely Post Strike Damage. Nothing in the minting process could possibly cause this. Just isn't possible. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
