TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 5:33 pm I'm not exactly sure what I've found. I think its a strike through but seems like a lot more going on. I'm pretty sure its a keeper though. Please share your thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff

TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 5:36 pm I also see the D mint mark twice. Would this indicate a double strike? Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 5:40 pm It looks to me like someone failed a vise job. Either way it is damage unfortunately. Keep hunting! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34424 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 5:53 pm Yep @ch27 nailed it: rather than a doubled die, this looks like damage from someone trying to manufacture an error.

TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 6:16 pm Ok ty. Is it because the coin is so mangled that leads you to believe damaged rather then other options Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 6:16 pm Just damage, however created. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19186 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 6:19 pm Interesting find none-the-less. Toss it in a 2x2 as a cool example. Report this Post to the Staff
TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 6:24 pm Well when everyone thinks it's damage I guess it's just damage. Caused by the die? :) Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21620 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 6:24 pm TippyCanoe For future reference and to save you some time, a coin that is struck in collar cannot be out of round. If it is as in the case of your coin, then it can only be damage. Also like to complement you on your photography. All your posts are above average. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 6:25 pm There is nothing in the minting process that would produce this. Interesting nonetheless, but sadly only PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
