Could be nothing just curious. What can you tell me about it? Thank you for any feedback you guys are awesome. Report this Post to the Staff

NEWmrMatic Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 03/05/2023 9:51 pm It's tricky because the inside of the mark in question is geometrically squarish and the material is a rounded blob. Almost like a heavy strike with a heated result. The inside has sharp somewhat even edges. But the moved material is rounded almost like a soldering bead.

If you want to find an error coin, you have to know what an actual mint error is. Most odd looking things on coins are just post mint damage ( PMD) Save Yourself time, effort, and disappointment...don't learn the coin hobby backwards. Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage or useless Machine Doubling, Die Deterioration, etc. Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like. A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/06/2023 10:17 am Just like in a parking lot, your car can get a door ding on the doors. This is not a factory error, but an event that damaged your car. Same here, this is a post strike event, not a mint error. Report this Post to the Staff
