Ericwats Valued Member United States 133 Posts	Posted 03/11/2021 1:55 pm I am trying to decide whether the 0 has a die chip or it was damaged after leaving the mint. I don't see a lot of evidence to tell me it was a strike to the coin. Opinions? Report this Post to the Staff

In nearly all cases this 'feature' is the result of the coin being handled/processed in a mechanical device--such as a vending machine or the like. Report this Post to the Staff
