Punchy New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 02:17 am I'm new to this, but I found several coins with the same issue(s) and was curious to know if I needed to try to keep them to sell or just let them go back to the bank. The first issue (I hesitate to call them errors, because I honestly don't know& 🤷 #8205;#9792;#65039;) is a circular pattern around the edges of the coin. I have found 4 total so far, 2 on the obverse sides and 2 on the reverse sides. The second issues seems to be a bit more common. It appears to look like "dental mold" trim. A series of patterned strikes (usually 2-5) sometimes once, but as many as 3 times on the obverse side of the coin. It may be a bit difficult to tell from my photos. Any information about these will be greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17905 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 05:17 am Hello and to the Forum! The circular markings that you describe sound like marks from coin wrapping machines. These are considered damage and detract from the value of a coin. For the marks that you describe as 'dental mold', I suggest that you post a clear photo of one of the affected coins. They sound as if they could be caused when one coin is hit by the milled edge of another coin.
