kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 12/05/2020 3:37 pm Damage. I've seen Barber dimes with this too. I read a thread somewhere speculating that it was caused by old coin counter tubes with a screw mechanism that might damage the top coin. Something like this. Otherwise a Gumball Machine or anything that rotates perhaps. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 12/05/2020 5:12 pm Yes 100% damage (not a mint error). Also, welcome to CCF!

Mary1749 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 12/05/2020 6:38 pm Thanks for the info. I couldn't figure out how it could make a mark like that without bending or damaging the back. The coin dispenser plunger makes sense. I am fiddling around with som coins collected in a jar by my friends Mom who live to be 106 and was born in 1910. Report this Post to the Staff
