lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 04:35 am Definitely damage. Modern coins are struck in a collar, sometimes called the third die. This keeps the coin round and forms the edge. The metal sticking out beyond the edge proves that it happened after minting. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95075 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 08:41 am Damaged, I would hope that by now you really wouldn't think this could be done at the mint There are far more ways to damage a coin than there are true error coins. I find it amazing the way folks will go and destroy a coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
