tratelle New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/23/2022 10:02 pm The rim damage on this cent is deep but doesn't touch the letters. Could this be a damaged planchet prior to the die press? I'm not sure if there is anything in the minting process that would make that mark but wanted to get your thoughts. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96209 Posts	Posted 03/23/2022 10:08 pm I wonder if this was caused when the coin was encased in the cello wrapper and the coin moved under the crimper.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96209 Posts	Posted 03/23/2022 10:10 pm The damage definitely occurred after it left the striking chamber. you can tell this because of the metal movement.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 03/24/2022 12:19 am It is after strike. Two possibilities: 1. Like Dear say, or by hazard the coin was roll on side of the band after ejection and was grip by rolls (in this case the both sides of coin have same marks). I saw some on of the second point, but most come from cell machine. Report this Post to the Staff
