coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/23/2023 2:30 pm Post strike damaged. Not a mint error. (All U.S. coins 1965-1967 coins did not have mintmarks) Why? This was when the silver was being pulled from circulation (Then the value was 4 Times face value for silver content, now more than that!) and to prevent coin collectors from pulling so many coins from circulation the current years, they had no mintmarks. How do I know that? I lived through that time. Get a cold soda for 10 cents. But minimum wage then was $1.00 per hour. So things were not all good/bad. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15476 Posts	Posted 01/23/2023 7:47 pm to the CCF Agreed this is damage done by someone after the coin left the mint. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5785 Posts	Posted 01/24/2023 08:01 am I agree with everyone about this being PSD/PMD. Something odd that Dearborn's image highlights are the slight misalignment of the damage on both sides. I've added lines to his images to show this. The red line represents the top of the damage on the obverse which is much lower than the damage on the reverse. Just a curiosity that seems odd to me. (EDIT: Maybe it's just the fact that the two images are slightly rotated in opposite directions that is causing this.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 01/24/2023 08:03 am Report this Post to the Staff
