JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 6:03 pm to the CCF It looks like an 8 but it isn't. It is just the way that circulation markings have given it that appearance. Once you learn how coins are struck, you will realize that what you have there is impossible to happen during the striking of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 6:06 pm That 8 is way too small to have been minted. It's just post mint damage ( PMD), sorry. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19155 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 6:18 pm Agree with the above. Large (full extent), high resolution photos of the coin's obverse and reverse can help set the full context of what we're looking at. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/09/2021 9:55 pm Probably a parking lot find sometime in its life. A couple of grains of sand can create that illusion. Not a die error. Report this Post to the Staff

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7512 Posts	Posted 02/10/2021 1:04 pm I can see why you think that but one thing to consider besides what has mentioned already is that the difference in the size of what looks like an 8 and the actual size of the digits in the date. to CCF Report this Post to the Staff
