Cons Valued Member United States 399 Posts	Posted 07/04/2021 11:41 am Hi All. Puzzling over this. Flattening on obverse and reverse. Semi circular but on opposite sides of coin on each side. Channel visible on reverse indent left side. Just seems impossible. Coin would have to flip and struck again for this to happen. I am thinking stuck in coin counting machine? Coin wrapping damage on date. Thank you for your opinions. Edited by Cons 07/04/2021 11:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21614 Posts	Posted 07/04/2021 12:03 pm Don't think it is from a coin counting machine but definitely damage of some sort. Whatever it was had enough force to bend the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Cons Valued Member United States 399 Posts	Posted 07/04/2021 12:10 pm Thanks for your opinions JimmyD and john1. I don't have experience in coin destruction and so it's hard for me to imagine, and then it bugs me.... Edited by Cons 07/04/2021 12:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/04/2021 12:56 pm The mark on the obverse from 3k to about 5k could be from a vending/counting/wrapping machine, but still PMD. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/04/2021 5:16 pm Just simple post mint damage ( PMD). How? Damage is damage. It didn't leave the mint looking that way. Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 07/04/2021 5:45 pm This one I think it is a result of the packing machine then counting. It is a 2013 and in that time the new no friction or press counting machines was in place. Report this Post to the Staff
