j00s New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 05/03/2022 7:05 pm Found similar markings on some of my nickels too.. is it a severe die error. Or is it In my head. Coincircles#129765;#128125; and it was right next to my 1938s smh. Just what exactly caused this to happen? And finally, Is it worth grading and auctioned?

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1489 Posts	Posted 05/03/2022 7:13 pm I'm trying to imagine a long-ago scenario where a gum ball machine caused the damage. Regardless, it is post-mint damage of some type. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21606 Posts	Posted 05/03/2022 7:31 pm It is damage and certainly not worth grading. And yes, I have seen that type of damage. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34408 Posts	Posted 05/03/2022 8:12 pm I wonder if that dime wasn't turned into a cuff link or button at one point.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19150 Posts	Posted 05/05/2022 08:55 am Appears to be mechanical vending machine damage to me. Keep 'em if you like 'em. Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 05/05/2022 09:46 am IMO, two different types of damage on the 5c and 10c. I'm with Spence on the dime, looks like heat damage on the reverse from where the metal flowed when melted. Remnants in the center from how it was mounted, either a pin or cuff link. Nickel is PMD, circular mechanical cuts into the surface Report this Post to the Staff

Skeletonwizard8 Valued Member United States 162 Posts	Posted 05/05/2022 11:30 pm poor coins. But no matter how damaged it is, it's always worth silver content! Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 05/06/2022 03:09 am damage is damage, it's definitely from machine, I see it fairly often on Canadian smaller coins from the 60s-80s, I always assumed it was just coin roller damage from what ever they used at that time. Newer coinage the roller damage is always closer to the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
