Roagan New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 08/07/2021 12:32 am be patient I'm trying to learn what I'm looking at. this unc coin has more damage all over more than any of my other unc coins. these are just what affects the letters. not sure how this much damage could happen. img]uploaded/Roagan/20210806_1985d-smash-letter-ccfopt.jpg Edited by Roagan 08/07/2021 3:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21604 Posts	Posted 08/07/2021 07:30 am Nice pictures but it helps if you would also include a full size photo. This gives us a perspective of the whole coin. Uncirculated business strikes can also have damage after they have left the striking chamber as they are massed produced and quality is not the main concern. They go down chutes, conveyor belts and are then put in totes with about 200,000 other coins to be shipped out. This is why high grade business strikes are hard to come by. It is hard for them to escape any damage. Report this Post to the Staff

Roagan New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 08/07/2021 09:25 am I did list it with other pics but everyone focused only on the colon mark and not the other damage I just wanted to list these better pics to know if grease could cause the flat tops on most the lettering on both sides of coin it seems so unlikely to me that that much damage opposing obverse and reverse same area would happen because it fell in a bin of coins without flattening out the edge of the coin as well. img]uploaded/Roagan/20210806_1985d-smash-letter-ccfopt.jpg[/img] Edited by Roagan 08/07/2021 09:32 am Report this Post to the Staff

Letters look normal , stop blowing them up 500 times and they won't look damaged . Report this Post to the Staff
Roagan New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 08/07/2021 6:03 pm Letters look normal , stop blowing them up 500 times and they won't look damaged . Can you see? The Second pic e r, the top half of r is flattened even with the surface as previous ones are half flattened. 3rd pic tops of t and y are almost even with the field. There are flattened tops of most the letters. I can see them with the naked eye. I blew them up because no one seems to be able to see the damage. And its not normal compared to the 500 sets Ive looked at so far. Obviously I need to go talk to someone in person! Edited by Roagan 08/07/2021 6:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
