Camrdaddy19 Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 06/24/2022 11:57 pm Can someone explain to me what happened here? Post-mint damage or did it miss a step in the minting process? The coin has seen better days. It's called a pretty uniform lip, all the way around on both sides. Report this Post to the Staff

Camrdaddy19 Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 06/25/2022 12:07 am Is "spooned"exactly what it sounds like? Like someone filed it down the edge... Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34398 Posts	Posted 06/25/2022 12:27 am @cam, yes for sure that is damage. The reeds are formed with the same manufacturing step that produces the rim, so you can't have a legit error with only one of these. As to the term "spooning", this is a method of turning coins into jewelry. For reference, here is a link to a previous thread where some of this is explained and described: http://goccf.com/t/322077 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
