I found this Ellis Island squatter with a 3/4 ring around his head. It starts just under the A in states and ends around the end T in trust. It feels raised from the rest of the coin. Have any of y'all seen this before? Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 05:02 am to the CCF! The ring is damage, most likely from a the crimping jaws on a Coin Wrapping Machine as Keith says. This coin was the end coin in the roll and the crimping mechanism cut the circle into the coin as it turned. The center of the line is incuse, but it may have some displaced material that is raised slightly above the fields. We've seen many coins damaged like this over the years posted on the CCF. It's Post Mint Damage or PMD. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Dearborn Moderator United States 95630 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 09:02 am yep, a common mark on 'ender' coins in a coin roll. The roll crimper marks up the coin. Collecting since 1972.
