NEWmrMatic Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 03/19/2023 6:41 pm Ah, ok. Got it. Makes sense because these all came from the same mint. I thought you meant circulating wear. My mistake and apologies. Thanks! That really makes sense now. Does this diminish a coin if by chance one has an actual error? Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 7:03 pm I really don't think they laser cut blanks. That would take seconds to cut out one blank, where it takes a fraction of a second to punchout hundreds of blanks, and the cut marks would be numerous. I think these marks are as Khromtau says, tool marks from a dull punch press die. Report this Post to the Staff
Khromtau Pillar of the Community United States 676 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 7:47 pm The more I look at it the more it looks like a worn collar issue and not a dull punch cutter, but I don't know for sure. I would think the metal moving around from upsetting the blanks and then striking the coin would mostly remove the sheared edge. It was an idea, but as stated, my opinion now is worn collar.
