Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 04/09/2020 12:12 pm @sf1, as a general rule, if there is a clear transfer of material from one location to another, such as the rims of a gouge as seen by the date in your first pic, it is damage. Consider taking some time to look through a few day's worth of posts on this subforum (US modern coin varieties and errors) to look at what others have posted and what the eventual conclusion was. In short time, you'll be able to spot damage on your own.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74233 Posts	Posted 04/09/2020 12:48 pm With Spence. PSD (Post Strike Damage) for sure. All of that pushed over metal tells us that it has just been damaged. A spender. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
