norman02 Valued Member Switzerland 90 Posts	Posted 08/09/2022 08:15 am The dollar shows a double punch...the line runs right around the coin and affects the P mint mark ....it looks like it has been squashed. The reverse of the coin shows a line running between and below the D of united and the S of states....the last A in America is rather closed, whether that matters I am not sure. Just going by what I observe of this coin. Is it a keep or bin ? Many thanks for your time Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/09/2022 09:10 am Might be a die crack on the reverse? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19321 Posts	Posted 08/09/2022 09:19 am Agree with all above--nice example of mechanical Wrapping Machine Damage. I'm thinking die crack on the reverse, worn down some on the high points as a result of circulation wear. Report this Post to the Staff

norman02 Valued Member Switzerland 90 Posts	Posted 08/09/2022 11:47 am Thank you so much for the information. Helps me toss aside those that seem to have the similar marks. Should I keep this one ? Report this Post to the Staff
