EDM Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 09/18/2020 9:18 pm I have a couple of these too and a 1921. I've never heard them as an error or type so I also am curious why these exist? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 09/18/2020 9:25 pm Sorry @t-bop but that is damage from the mechanism on a coin operated Gumball Machine. The L in LIBERTY is another common area to be partly swept inward. If you look closely, you can sometimes see little remnants of the base of the one.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 09/18/2020 11:37 pm with all of the above, Gumball Machine Damage, post mint (of course). We have seen this in all dates, affecting only the last digit. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/19/2020 05:11 am Tony, It is damage. Your pic is clear enough but could not click on it to enlarge and it needs a bit more cropping,just so you know. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
