George H. W. Bush Dollar Coin With Die Damage

I understand what you are saying, but I sell these Presidential dollar coins on ebay as a set. I buy these by the box ($250 to a box) from the US mint, and open the rolls to disperse them into protective sleeves.

This legitimately came from a US Mint roll. That is why I was surprised to find this type of damage. It looked as though it was damaged when the edging was struck. Looking forward to any other input

I fixed the photos so they were upright. Also this coin came from the Denver mint. Is it possible that it was damaged while sorting and packaging? Seems pretty severe to me to be damaged in that way.

I meant no disrespect either John 1, I just do not see how it could be PMD if it arrived that way from the mint. I am trying to learn and get better with identifying oddities, and appreciate all the input I get from the community.

I don't doubt that you got this straight from the mint, but it's still not a striking error. The coin was damaged by the mint's machinery sometime after striking IMO.

Looks like it was damaged in the edge lettering machine to me. probably a traffic jam. generally this level of damage isn't going to happen in a sorting/rolling machine, nor do I think it's PMD from outside the mint. the coin was struck and ten it got significantly jammed up somewhere after the strike, and my guess is I'm going with the edge lettering machine. but I'd think there should be significant evidence of this hang up in the lettering also, if that's how it happened.

Maybe improperly spaced lettering around the edge or something to indicate it happened at that step.

On the business strikes, the coin are struck, then run through a machine to apply the edge lettering in a 2 step process.
Proofs are made with a 3 segmented collar and done along with the strike.

Id' say unless there is something apparently fishy with the edge lettering placement it could have technically happened anywhere in the supply chain though and be inconclusive.

to take a picture with another one, side by side both edge lettering starting from the same points and follow it around to see if it gets tighter or further apart.
Either that or if you can do an exploded view picture that shows the edge around the coin face, but that's beyond my technical knowledge on how to do that.
it should be obvious to you when comparing this one to any other Presidential dollar if it's there.

Or slam dunked onto a sidewalk. Now a cull coin.

Also, I do get these from the US Mint, not bank rolls.
