Alyssa2022 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/31/2023 05:37 am I found two of these coins. Both 2021 D mint with some wavy lines on it. Not sure if this is an error worth anything or what. I am fairly new to this hobby so still learning. Report this Post to the Staff

Unfortunately these typically cannot be fully removed from the surface of a coin. For me, this coin would be a spender.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 05/31/2023 8:56 pm Almost all odd looking coins are post mint damage of some sort. There are a limited number of things that can go wrong in the minting process and coins spend very little time at the mint. However, coins can spend sometimes a century or more in circulation and therefore encounter an almost infinite number of ways to be damaged, exposed to chemicals etc. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
